The National Security Adviser (NSA), Major Babagana Monguno, has said that authorities are recording gains in the southeast, as the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB’s) Eastern Security Network (ESN) no longer hold sway.
Monguno, who spoke on Thursday, December 01, 2022, during the weekly Ministerial Briefing, organised by the Presidential Communication Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, disclosed that this feat and many others were achieved through the deployment of its multi-billion-naira Falcon Eye Maritime Intelligence Facility.

The NSA revealed that some of IPOB’s key commanders, including Improvised Explosive Device (IED) experts, had been arrested and major camps destroyed.
“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,” Monguno said.
