​ENUGU / NIGERIA — Joint security forces have recorded a major operational success in the South-East after uncovering a massive, clandestine arms hideout used by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

​Operating under Operation EASTERN SANITY II, troops of the 82 Division Garrison alongside operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) raided a location in the Gariki axis of Enugu South Local Government Area, discovering heavy military-grade weaponry hidden inside a zinc structure disguised as a pig farm.

​The Breakdown: Inside the Intelligence-Led Raid
​The Intelligence Trail: The successful precision raid was executed following actionable intelligence extracted from previously arrested IPOB/ESN suspects during interrogation.

​An RPG-7 rocket launcher tube & Hand Grenades

​AK-47 rifles & loaded magazines
​A tear gas gun with live cartridges
​Over 740 rounds of combined 7.62mm NATO and Special ammunition

​Next Legal Steps: In a statement issued by Lt. Col. Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni (Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 82 Division), all recovered weapons and arrested suspects have been handed over to the DSS Enugu State Command for deeper investigation.

​Joint Command Statement: "This intelligence-driven operation underscores effective inter-agency collaboration. Operation UDO KA remains unwaveringly committed to sustaining offensive actions against networks that undermine peace in the South-East."

The legal battle line has been drawn between the 2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his former political ally, Kenneth Okonkwo. The Root of the Dispute

The friction stems from Okonkwo’s live appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily program on Monday, June 8, 2026. During the broadcast, Okonkwo made several heavy allegations accusing Obi and South-East NDC caucus leaders of running a corrupt system during party primaries.

The core allegations highlighted in the legal notice include:

The N10 Million Bribe Claim: Okonkwo alleged that House of Representatives aspirants were forced to pay a N10 million bribe to Obi and party caucus leaders to secure tickets, on top of official expression of interest fees.

The "Hotel Room" List: He claimed Obi personally compiled the party’s final candidate list from a room at the Johnwood Hotel in Abuja instead of allowing democratic primaries.

Financial Fraud Allegations: He openly characterized Obi as a "scammer" and a "political conman," warning aspirants they would be defrauded, and accused him of collecting illicit funds from individuals abroad

​Through a pre-action letter dated June 9, 2026, issued by his legal team led by Chief Alex Ejesieme (SAN), Peter Obi has handed the actor-turned-politician a strict 7-day ultimatum to retract his comments, issue an unreserved public apology, and pay N5 billion in damages for defamation of character
