Nigerian Army declares victory over Biafra

The Nigerian Army yesterday said it has successfully curtailed the activities of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB in the South East while clashes between farmers and herdsmen within the region had been prevented by troops in the past two weeks.

Providing an update on Exercise Egwu Eke II (Python Dance II) the army further said the activities of kidnappers and other criminals had been checkmated in the region while scores of people had been arrested and handed over to the police for prosecution.

The army was however silent on the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB who was alleged to be on the run after a siege laid on his compound in Aba, Abia State.

A statement signed by Col. Sagir Musa, Deputy Director of Public Relations, Nigerian Army, however reassured the public that the army was poised to maintain peace and orderliness in the entire South East.
