The troops swiftly pursued the kidnappers and made contact with them. In the fire fight that ensued, the troops professionally neutralized one of the kidnappers and injured two others despite their attempts to use passer-by as human shield. The troops recovered one AK 47 rifle with two loaded magazines and a motorcycle. 


Similarly, troops in conjunction with personnel of Naval Base, Oguta neutralised a member of IPOB/ESN terrorist group  at Amagberedere village in Oguta LGA of Imo State.

While commending the good people of Umuaka and Oguta for providing timely intelligence, we  continue to encourage the general public to provide timely information that will lead to the arrest of these criminal elements terrorizing the law-abiding and peace loving Ndigbos. The Force Commander, JTF SE Operation UDO KA Major General Hassan Dada beseech the support of all for restoration of peace in Imo State and the South East in general. Any information of security value could be passed to the military by using your phone to dial 193 and Press Number 2 for quick intervention.
