The Ebonyi State Police Command said that some things were taken back from the camp of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The IPOB camp is in Obegu, which is between the Onicha-Isu and Ishielu Local Government Areas of the state.
SP Chris Anyanwu, the police spokesman, told reporters on Thursday at the command center in Abakaliki that officers and members of the tactical teams assaulted the camp in response to reliable intelligence that criminals were operating and causing havoc in the state inside the Ishielu axis.

Anyanwu said that Sunday Ubah, aka Bongo, the leader of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State, was caught after a quick investigation and a team of detectives from the Ohaukwu Division worked together.
Incriminating goods were also uncovered during the operation, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which the police described as the largest in the south-east and capable of massive building destruction and mass human killing.
Two of the hoodlums were neutralized as a result of the police crackdown on what they called “hoodlums,” while other hoodlums managed to escape with varying degrees of bullet wounds, costing other police officers minor injuries.
