**Operation UDO KA: Troops Deal Crushing Blow to IPOB in Anambra** In a daring operation, troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF) South East (SE) have dismantled a notorious stronghold of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Anambra State. The operation, codenamed UDO KA, was carried out on February 26, 2026, in Mother Valley, Nkwere, Anambra State. The JTF, comprising the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), demonstrated exceptional courage and discipline in their final assault on the IPOB terrorists. Despite fierce resistance from the insurgents, the troops managed to penetrate and dominate the valley, neutralizing one IPOB member and recovering vital weapons and logistics. The recovered items include two pump-action guns, one locally fabricated gun, one tear gas gun, seven gas cylinders, an electric kettle, and flags linked to extremist propaganda. The destruction of the terrorists' Supreme Headquarters in the valley, including solar panels and a Mikano generator, has dealt a critical blow to their operational sustainability. This operation is a significant blow to the IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN). The group has been linked to several violent attacks and kidnappings in the southeast region. The Nigerian Army has been waging a sustained campaign against the group, with recent operations in Ebonyi and Imo states resulting in the neutralization of key leaders and the destruction of key infrastructure. The JTF's operation in Anambra State is a testament to their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the country. As the Nigerian Army continues to tackle separatist threats, it is essential that citizens remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. In conclusion, Operation UDO KA has dealt a significant blow to the IPOB and its ESN wing, crippling their operational capabilities and disrupting their activities in the southeast region. The Nigerian Army's bravery and strategic planning have once again demonstrated their commitment to protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.
