BREAKING: Suspected Arms Supplier to IPOB/ESN Arrested in Anambra – Major Security Breakthrough
Anambra, Nigeria – June 3, 2025
In a significant breakthrough in the fight against insecurity in the Southeast, security operatives have apprehended a suspected arms supplier believed to be providing weapons to members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The arrest took place during a covert operation coordinated by a joint task force of the Nigerian Army and Department of State Services (DSS). The suspect, whose identity is currently being withheld for investigative purposes, was reportedly found in possession of high-grade firearms and ammunition intended for delivery to militant cells in the region.
According to preliminary intelligence reports, the suspect had been on the security watchlist for months and is believed to be part of a wider arms trafficking network fueling separatist violence in Anambra and nearby states.
A senior security official involved in the operation confirmed that digital communication devices, logistics plans, and records of transactions were recovered from the suspect, shedding light on the scale of the weapons distribution network.
Authorities say the arrest is a “critical link” in dismantling the illegal supply chain that supports violent agitation and criminal operations under the guise of secessionist movements.
The development is expected to lead to further arrests and intelligence breakthroughs as investigations continue.
The Federal Government has reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on armed insurrection and urged citizens to report suspicious activity in their communities to aid ongoing efforts to secure lives and property.
