Meanwhile, in a display of gallantry, Nigerian Army troops in conjunction with hybrid force elements successfully raided and destroyed IPOB/ ESN Fighters’ firearms production factory located between Ekoli Edda and Amagwu Ohafia communities in Abia and Ebonyi States respectively.
According to Newsmen, the dissidents’ camp, which was used for fabricating firearms and production of ammunition was fortified with charms, placed inside a calabash pot that was also destroyed.
