The Federal Government has revealed that it is winning the fight against the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.
According to the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (retd.), on Thursday, the group is losing its grip on the Southeast socioeconomic fabric.
He said, “The Indigenous People of Biafra, also known as IPOB, and its militia wing, the Eastern Security Network, have emerged as a very potent separatist group in the country and equally a major threat to national security.
“However, their activities are being significantly curtailed, as there’s now a marked decline in the number and scale of attacks due to increased security operations by security agencies. Apart from the reduction in attacks, some of the group’s key commanders, including IED experts, have been arrested, while major camps have been destroyed.
“Overall, security forces are gradually stabilising the socioeconomic landscape in areas where IPOB terrorised law-abiding Nigerians in the past. The armed forces and other security agencies are sustaining these efforts.” he said.
