Troops of Operation UDO KA of the Nigerian Army have
arrested a suspected informant of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Anambra
state.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
publication focused on the Lake Chad region, the suspect was apprehended on
Saturday afternoon during a routine patrol along the Owerre-Ezukala axis in
Umunze, Orumba south LGA of the state.
Citing security sources, Makama said the patrol was
conducted in collaboration with personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF),
the Department of Security Services (DSS), and local vigilante groups.
The publication said preliminary investigations revealed
that the suspect allegedly provided intelligence to suspected IPOB/ESN members
on the movement of security personnel in the area.
Makama said the suspect was subsequently handed over to
local vigilante operatives for preliminary interrogation and profiling.
It noted that the troops maintained their presence in the
area after the arrest to prevent criminal activities and sustain security
operations within the community.
Makama added that security forces have intensified
intelligence-led operations against suspected criminal networks operating in
the south-east.
