The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a top member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Anambra.
Udebuan Sage Chubueze was arrested in Ekwukobia in Aguata Local Government Area of the state on Saturday afternoon.It was gathered that a bullet wound gave him away to the neighbours who then tipped off police.
The military has been engaging the IPOB militants since the beginning of the military Operation Golden Dawn in the southeast, and Friday witnessed a fatal clash between the two at Ekwukobia.
A senior police officer told the Daily Post: “One Udebuan Sage Chubueze ‘M’, a top Commander of IPOB/ESN was arrested today (Saturday).
“The suspect was arrested with a gunshot injury on 29th October 2021. A search was conducted in his house at Ekwulobia and Nnewi where four AK-47, two automatic pump-action, and ammunition were recovered.
“The suspect confessed to have led several attacks on police facilities and responsible for the killings of several policemen and Naval personnel. We commend this breakthrough as this will further weaken the strength of IPOB/ESN against the security men,” he said.
The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, has yet to make any official statement.
