Police authorities in Imo State have dislodged a camp suspected to belong to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Oguta Local Government Area of the state.
Items recovered from the camp include three Automatic Pump Action guns, 31 rounds of live cartridges, 59 rounds of AK 47 ammunition, one police hand grenade, explosive devices, a bow and arrow, charms and other fetish objects, IPOB/ESN insignia, blue and black colour Police uniforms.
Police Public Relations Officer, Asp Henry Okoye disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, saying the suspected terrorists had reassembled and formed a camp at Ubah Agwa/Izombe tropical rain Forest in Oguta.
According to him, the IPOB members were “strategizing on how to perpetrate another dreadful crime,” before operatives of the Command’s Tactical teams swiftly swung into action, tactically manoeuvred their way into the identified criminal hideout and raided it.
