Gov Mbah Lauds DSS, Army, Others as He Inspects Arms Cache Seized From ESN Terrorists
*Thanks President Tinubu for Supporting States To Fight Insecurity
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State on Friday commended the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Police for their commitment to securing Nigeria and the Southeast geopolitical zone in particular.
The Governor gave the commendation shortly after visiting the State's DSS headquarters where he inspected a cache of arms and ammunition recovered on Tuesday from commanders of the outlawed Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the State.
During the raid on ESN armoury, DSS operatives, backed by troops of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, recovered a large cache of high-calibre arms and ammunition.
Governor Mbah inspected some of the recovered weapons, including
a rocket launcher, two RPG (rocket propelled grenades) warheads, three RPG chargers, 11 AK-47 rifles, and over 610 rounds of NATO 7.62x39 mm ammunition, and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniforms and lanyards.
Accompanied by the Division's Garrison Commander, Brig. Gen Abubakar Suru, State Commissioner of Police, Bitrus Giwa, and other government officials, Mbah praised the hard work and collaboration among security agencies in the country.
According to the governor, but for the diligence and intelligence of the DSS and sister security agencies, , the recovered arms and ammunition would have been used by the ESN terrorists to wreck havoc across the South and paint a false picture that insecurity has taken over Nigeria.
Governor Mbah called on Nigerians to, irrespective of their political and religious affiliations, support efforts by President Bola Tinubu to tackle insecurity.
He thanked President Tinubu for supporting states to tackle insecurity, saying the President's effort is the reason for the successes being recorded by security agencies across the states.
Security sources disclosed that the raid on the ESN armoury came on the heels of intelligence gathered from some arrested ESN members, that the terrorist organization was planning to unleash terror on Enugu and other Southeast States, and create panic and the false impression that bandits have invaded the region.
The Enugu recovery came two days before the Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced five members of a band of notorious bandits each to 25 years in prison for assisting the gunmen who, on November 21, 2025, attacked and abducted students and staff of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State. The five convicts were arrested by DSS operatives in separate operations last week.
They are activating all their sleeper cells around Enugu and some other SE states. If you think they are there to protect you, they will still terrorise you. They always have a strategy of capitalising on govt deficiencies #sentinel s
SECURITY FORCES UNCOVER INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA/EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK ARMS CACHE IN ENUGU
Troops of 82 Division Garrison operating under Sector 1, Operation UDO KA, in collaboration with operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), Enugu State Command, have achieved a significant operational success in the ongoing Operation EASTERN SANITY II in an effort to consolidate the peace building process in the South East.
On 9 June 2026, acting on credible intelligence derived from previously arrested suspects affiliated with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), security forces conducted a precision follow-up operation in Gariki, Enugu South Local Government Area. Troops uncovered a clandestine arms hideout concealed within a zinc structure disguised as a piggery. A thorough exploitation of the site led to the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition. These include General Purpose Machine Guns, RPG-7 launcher tube, AK-47 rifles, hand grenades, tear gas gun with cartridges, AK-47 magazines, 270 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, and 478 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition.
All recovered items and arrested suspects have been handed over to the DSS Enugu State Command for further investigation and appropriate legal action.
This intelligence-driven operation underscores the effective interagency collaboration in the region, resulting in proactive measures to counter threats to national unity and public safety. It also reflects the Operation UDO KA’s unwavering commitment to sustaining offensive actions against criminal and terrorist networks that undermine peace in the region.
The Operation UDO KA reaffirms its dedication to protecting citizens
and preserving national sovereignty. The public is strongly encouraged to continue providing timely and credible information to security forces, thereby enhancing collective efforts to achieve lasting peace and security in the South East.

@OzorNdiOzor Now you understand the people behind the decline of security in Sahel. They are also helping ploting coup and changing governments instead of making the system work.
West Africa, open your eyes.
@AJSMILE911 Unfortunately, you don't even know the video difference between training exhibitions and real gunfire videos. All na to do content, well done
Some of these agencies under internal affairs should reevaluate their asset or source protection protocols. Handlers in ops should also be smart about corruption within the system. Always keep your sources to yourself alone.
One major reason intelligence gathering remains slow in law enforcement is the absence of strong asset protection programs, coupled with handler inefficiency and poor management. The loss of an asset under any handler is a serious failure. This situation needs investigation.
