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.

Amazon cargo plane crash in Miami kills five, injures five

At least five people have died and five others were injured after an Amazon cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport, struck vehicles and caught fire on Sunday.   The Prime Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft, had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, at about 1:58pm local time when it crashed after landing, according to Channels Television, citing officials. Miami-Dade County Fire Chief Ray Jadallah said three of the injured were taken to trauma centres in critical condition, while two others were treated at a local hospital. The aircraft struck several vehicles, trapping people inside and underneath them. Rescue teams also had to search for the pilot and co-pilot, who were trapped inside the aircraft. More than 60 emergency vehicles and nearly 200 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded to the scene. Firefighters used foam to extinguish a fire in the aircraft’s engine compartment, while hazardous materials teams dealt with a fuel leak. The cause of the crash has not yet been established. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation. The NTSB said it had sent a team to investigate the runway excursion. Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel expressed condolences to the victims’ families and said the company would cooperate with the investigation. The crash caused major disruption at Miami International Airport, with all runways and taxiways initially closed. Several flights were delayed or cancelled, although two of the airport’s four runways had reopened by Sunday evening. The incident was first reported by Channels Television, citing information from Miami-Dade officials, the NTSB and AFP.
