The IPOB camp is located at Obegu, a boundary area between Onicha-Isu and Ishielu Local Government Areas of the state.
Briefing journalists at the command headquarters in Abakaliki on Thursday, the police spokesman, SP Chris Anyanwu, said officers and men from the tactical teams, stormed the camp sequel to a credible information gathered that hoodlums were operating and wreaking havoc in the state within Ishielu axis.
Anyanwu said a quick trail and joint effort with a team of detectives attached to Ohaukwu Division led to the arrest of Sunday Ubah a.k.a Bongo, the commander of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State.
The raid also led to the discovery of some incriminating items such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), which the police described as the biggest in the South-East capable of causing colossal damage to buildings and mass killing of humans.
This clamp down on those the police described as hoodlums also came with a price as some police operatives sustained minor bullet injuries while two of the hoodlums were neutralized, as others escaped with various degrees of bullet injuries.
