Police, Military Hold Special Operations In North-West, South-East

The police are carrying out special operations in the South-East and North-West regions of the country to decimate the activities of insurgents such as the Indigenous People of Biafra, Eastern Security Network and bandits.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who revealed this in an interview with our correspondent, said the operations are being carried out in conjucntion with other military operatives.

Adejobi said, “We have made adequate deployment to the South-East and the North-West. Immediately the president unveiled the anti-riot equipment last week, they were deployed, and that was about the third deployment of equipment nationwide.

“Also, the Imo State governor recently bought some APCs and other weapons, and that’s why you can see that the activities of IPOB in the state have gone down. In fact, their activities had gone down in most of the cities in Imo because the governor was proactive by getting those equipment after he consulted the IG.

“Now IPOB and ESN activities are becoming prevalent in Anambra, with incidents happening frequently these days. But the CP had consulted the IG, and we’re hopeful that things will improve there.

“So, we urge the governors of other states in the South-East too to meet with the IG, they could do it per state or per the entire region, and the IG would advise them on how to go about solving similar problems in their states.
