**DSS Makes Groundbreaking Arrests in Enugu, Cracks Down on ESN and IPOB** In a major crackdown on insecurity in the South-East, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested a suspected commander of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), Sabastine Odo Odam, and Ejike Daniel, a suspected member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in Enugu State. The suspects were apprehended in Eha-Amufu and Umuhu communities in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area on Friday, following months of intelligence gathering by security agencies. The operation was a culmination of sustained surveillance of their alleged involvement in violent attacks on police formations in the area between 2024 and 2026. According to security sources, the suspects have confessed to masterminding a string of attacks on police stations and the theft of weapons from security facilities. The attacks resulted in multiple fatalities, including labourers and policemen. In February 2026, 11 labourers lost their lives, while in January 2026, two policemen were killed. Similar attacks occurred in December 2025 and 2024. The arrest of these suspects is seen as a significant breakthrough in ongoing efforts to combat insecurity in the South-East and other parts of the country. The residents of Isi-Uzo Local Government Area have welcomed the development, expressing hope that the arrests will help restore peace to communities that have experienced repeated attacks. The suspects are currently in DSS custody, and are expected to be arraigned in court after the conclusion of investigations. The DSS has described the arrests as a major success in the fight against insecurity in the region. In recent times, Enugu State has experienced a surge in insecurity, with various groups carrying out attacks on police formations and civilians. The arrest of these suspects is a welcome development, and a testament to the efforts of security agencies to restore peace and order in the state. As Nigeria continues to grapple with insecurity, the arrest of these suspects serves as a reminder that the fight against these groups will not be easy, but it is crucial to the restoration of peace and stability in the region.
