Neutralise IPOB/ESN elements enforcing sit-at-home directive – AIG orders personnel
The AIG in charge of Zone 9, AIG Echeng Echeng, has charged police officers in Imo State with neutralizing IPOB/ESN elements enforcing the illegal sit-at-home directive.
Yesterday, Echeng gave the charge during a familiarization tour of the Imo command in Owerri.
The AIG stated that the police would take a tough stance against insurgency, terrorism, and other criminal activities within the zone.
I will continuously ensure that we take the fight to those who do not want peace. There is nothing anybody can do without security.
The economy of the state will not be affected by a group of miscreants who think they have control, he stated.
Echeng, who urged residents to go about their normal lives, reaffirmed his men’s readiness to maintain peace and provide adequate security for the people of Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi States.

We will continue to partner with other security agencies in the state to ensure that those planning to enforce the sit at home order are surely dealt with.
Imo people deserve better than what they are getting now.
They deserve peace, adequate security, economic growth and stability; and this we assure them, Echeng noted.
Earlier, Mr Mohammed Barde, the state commissioner of police, stated that the command had continued to battle IPOB/ESN in order to put an end to their activities.
So far, we have been winning the battle.
The strategies adopted by the command have helped drastically to cut down violent crimes in the state to the barest minimum. I am delighted to inform you that the general security in the state has improved.
The command is working assiduously and determined to improve on the records already achieved so that the people of the state can enjoy relative peace, Barde stated.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.
The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.
He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.
His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.
“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.
“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.
“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
