No fewer than two fighters of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra have been killed during a joint operation by the Nigerian Army, Police, and Department of State Services in Delta state.

Members of the group were said to have attacked a community in Asaba on Monday.

According to a statement on Tuesday by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, security agencies in the area received distress calls from residents in the community and deployed men to the area.

He said the IPOB members engaged the operatives in a fierce gun battle, adding that due to the superior power of the security agents, the criminals withdrew to their hideout.

Onyewa added that the IPOB members were trailed to their camps where five members were arrested and weapons recovered from them.

The statement read, “Combined troops of 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police and Operatives of the Department of State Services have neutralized two IPOB/ESN fighters and arrested five others after a fierce encounter that took place on Monday, July 17, 2023, at Fuji Junction general area in Asaba, Delta state.

“The encounter followed distress calls that the community was under attack by terrorists, to which the combined troops swiftly responded. The terrorists succumbed to the overwhelming firepower of the troops, after two of their members fell in the firefight that ensued, while the survivors fled to their hideout around the Okpanam River.

“The troops in pursuit of the fleeing criminal elements successfully trailed them to their enclave in a house around the Okpanam River, where they were nabbed. The troops also recovered one AK 47 Rifle, one Pump Action Semi-Automatic Rifle, 15 Live Cartridges, one AK 47 Rifle Magazine, and a Baofeng Radio Receiver.”

He said the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, lauded the combined troops for their effort, urging them to sustain the synergy.

Onyema implored the public to continue cooperating with security agencies by providing actionable information to support their operations.

Cross River flood warning: Otu seeks urgent federal action

Cross River flood warning has intensified after Bassey Otu appealed to the Federal Government for urgent intervention over recurring floods affecting communities across Cross River State.   According to Channels Television, the governor said annual flooding has become a major ecological threat, warning that the damage now extends beyond homes and farms to broader environmental risks.   Otu spoke during a visit by National Emergency Management Agency Director-General Zubaida Umar and a delegation involved in the 2026 National Flood Preparedness and Awareness Campaign.   He said several projects originally designed to reduce flooding in the state, including drainage systems and water diversion channels, were left incomplete, worsening the situation for vulnerable communities.   “Flooding has continued to confront our state year after year, and it is already common knowledge that Cross River remains one of the high-risk states in the country,” Otu said.   The governor added that planned dam and drainage infrastructure had not been fully delivered, despite earlier engagements with relevant authorities dating back to 2019.   NEMA confirmed that Cross River is among states expected to face severe flooding in 2026, with high-risk local government areas listed as Abi, Akamkpa, Calabar Municipality, Calabar South, Etung, Ikom, Odukpani, Obubra and Obanliku.   Umar said the agency had deployed technical teams to vulnerable communities and was working with traditional rulers, religious leaders and emergency responders to improve awareness and preparedness ahead of the peak flood season.   She noted that while flooding may not be entirely prevented, early warning systems and stronger coordination can reduce losses to lives and livelihoods.
