According to Buba, the operation that led to the arrest took place in the group’s hideouts in Orsu, Imo State, Amaruku and Arochukwu in Abia State.

Three other notorious members of the group, he added, were also arrested during the sting operation.

Buba further disclosed that 24 terrorists were killed while 12 violent extremists were arrested by military troops.

He said that one hostage abducted by the group was rescued while the suspects have been handed over to relevant authorities for further action.

“Troops at Forward Operation Base, Orsu, conducted a sting operation that culminated in the arrest of an IPOB terrorist leader.

“The arrested terrorist leader, identified as Pius Iguh, is a founding father of the ESN group in the Orsu general area of Imo State,” Buba said.
