Eastern Security Network, ESN, and the Nigeria Army were in a gun battle in Orlu forest Imo . Military fighter jets believed to be deployed by the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force are conducting aerial strikes in Orlu communities in Imo State, which has worsened the already built-up tension in the areas. SaharaReporters learnt that the airstrikes started on Thursday noon, and are connected with the military’s resolve to dislodge the Eastern Security Network operatives said to have strongholds in the forests.
The ESN operatives in January had a bloody clash with the Nigerian Army from Obinze barracks, where four soldiers were reportedly killed.
A video of the aerial bombardments on Thursday surfaced with fresh tension and anxiety building in the communities.
“Nigerian soldiers are currently conducting aerial strikes in our areas. Many innocent lives may be lost. They are probably looking for ESN operatives who are checking the activities of killer Fulani herdsmen,” a community head told NEWSMEN.
“People’s homes and market places may be affected. We don’t need aircraft in Orlu. They should go and find the stolen school pupils in Niger State,” another angry resident said.
“I have the video. There was an aircraft firing shots possibly in a nearby bush. Very reckless of the airforce; civilians are all over the place,”another person said.
2 jets down , 1 armored tank down also.. ESN is moving
Have you come to the place where you are losing your breath of life by slow motion? With no more fighting spirit left? Your boat is fast sinking and searching for an open door seems not realizable. And every road of life you had taken brought regret to your today, and you feel you cannot make it, you have come to the point of no return. One thing is left to do, look up to God. Get God Involved. God will take care of you even as you face evil. How does He do this? He promises that nothing will ever separate us from the love of God. Romans 8:25-29 be blessed.
