In a significant development, the Chief of Army Staff, Maj Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, has issued a directive to deploy military personnel to carry out operations in areas where the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have enforced sit-at-home orders throughout the South-Eastern states.
The decision comes amidst growing concerns over the impact of these directives on the socio-economic activities in the region. The military operation aims to restore normalcy and ensure the free movement of people, goods, and services in the affected areas.
This move by the Army Chief reflects the government’s determination to address the situation and maintain peace and stability in the region.
