“We have equally heightened our efforts in containing crim perpetrated in the Southeast Region by the Indigenous People of Biafra & Eastern Security Network.
Through Operation Udoka, our troops have, in collaboration with other relevant stakeholders, put an end to the infamous sit-at-home order that has almost crippled socio-economic activities in the Region. Citizens of the region now go about their everyday life.
