Troops of Operation UDO KA Sector 5, in a coordinated operation with the 63 Brigade and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have intercepted a massive cache of ammunition allegedly destined for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed , the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

The t operation, conducted on May 29, 2025, along the Asaba–Onitsha expressway, led to the seizure of over 164,000 live cartridges hidden inside a truck. Acting swiftly on actionable intelligence, security personnel also arrested a key suspect, identified as Mr. Emeka Omenife, believed to be a major courier in the arms smuggling network.

The dramatic bust happened along the Asaba–Onitsha expressway on 29 May 2025, following credible intelligence reports. Security operatives swiftly moved in and apprehended the suspected gunrunner, Mr. Emeka Omenife, who was allegedly transporting the deadly cargo.

According to intelligence sources, Omenife was immediately handed over to the DSS for interrogation. During questioning, he reportedly confessed to being part of an international ammunition trafficking syndicate that moves weapons from Ghana to Nigeria.


Acting on the confession, troops launched a follow-up operation and arrested another suspect, Mr. Uchenna Obiora, at the Onitsha–Awka tollgate on 30 May 2025, as he awaited the delivery of the deadly consignment.

The operation successfully led to the interception of the truck carrying the massive cache of ammunition, which had been carefully concealed to avoid detection.

Authorities have vowed to continue cracking down on arms trafficking networks threatening the nation’s peace and security.

And these are the same people that would come on social media shouting Tinubu, and saying our military are not doing anything about insecurity. Meanwhile, they are the little firewood disrupting the fire. How many times have the military also caught many collaborators in the North including Soldiers, policemen and traditional rulers. The question is, how are these evil people sleeping at night while you orchestrate the killings of your own people.

Lol. Shebi they are all telling us Kanu, Ekpa, Nworu, Mefor etal are all Saints and valiant boys scout who help old women cross the road all day.

This is not a case of a people living in denial. It is a case of a people's hatred of outsiders making them willing followers of demons in their rank who know how to sweet-talk them with hate preaching against said outsiders.

Good luck to them all. Make your bed and lay in it. Simple

Those people insulting NAFDAC for shutting down fake drug stores will come and insult the military and defend these criminals too. You can't deny how low they can go to defend criminality among themselves.

I laugh. Anyone who know about guns would know these bullets aren't for any fighting against military. Even Boko haram would have nothing to do with these types of bullets.

From my observations, this is mostly for black market sales for criminals.
