The Police have uncovered a shrine with a live tortoise, and three camps of reportedly belonging to members of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, which is the militant arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, dislodging the hoodlums and taking over the ground.
The three camps are located in a thick forest close to Opeke River, in Omege village in Agba community of Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State in South-East Nigeria. The shrine which is said to belong to the dare-devil ESN State Commander popularly called Ambassador, who is now at large, is sited at Anike Isu in Onicha Local Government Area of the State.
State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Chris Anyanwu, confirmed this to newsmen in Abakaliki, the state capital on Sunday, while parading two suspected ESN members including Nnamdi Obaji alongside many recovered items.
