According to a statement released by the Defence Headquarters, soldiers from various theatres of operations across the country have been cracking down on nefarious activities of terrorists and other criminal elements in the last two weeks after discovering anti-poll posters at an IPOB members’ hideout.
According to the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Musa Danmadami, posters observed at secessionist shrines read ‘No Election’.
According to Naija News, the 2023 general election will begin on February 25th with Presidential, Senate, and House of Representatives elections.
The troop’s discovery, however, suggests the agitators are against the conduct of elections in the South-East.
Speaking during a briefing in Abuja on Thursday, Danmadami said over 77 terrorists were killed while a total of 340 terrorists and members of their families surrendered to the military between January 26 and February 9.NYSC portal
He disclosed that the IPOB/Eastern Security Network (ESN) hideout where the anti-poll posters were seen was located in the Orlu Local Government Area of Imo.
