He said the troops of 34 Artillery Brigade, operating in 82 Division Nigerian Army Area of Responsibility on August 20, 2023 foiled an attack by the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN) on its Forward Operating Base at Ukwuorji, along Owerri-Onitsha expressway.

The separatists attempted the attack on the troops but met their waterloo when they came under the superior firepower of the vigilant troops.
