Police uncover bomb factory in Ebonyi
The Ebonyi State Command has uncovered the biggest bomb factory in the southeast operated by the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) and its militia arm, ESN.
The command’s spokesperson, Chris Anyanwu, disclosed this in a statement on December 15.
According to him, the Police swooped on one of the biggest and most notorious Camps of the IPOB/ESN located at Obegu, a boundary area between Onicha-Isu and Ishielu LGAs of Ebonyi State
“The invasion of the criminals’ den was necessitated by an earlier encounter between operatives of the Command’s Tactical Teams, sequel to a credible information gathered that the hoodlums were operating/wreaking havoc in the State with a Toyota Sienna space bus which they robbed at g¥n point from the owner within Ishielu axis
A quick trail and joint effort with a team of detectives attached to Ohaukwu Division led to the arrest of Sunday Ubah a.k.a Bongo, the State Commander of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State
