Benue Insecurity: Agatu youths demand withdrawal of military, cite loss of confidence
Benue Insecurity:

The Agatu Indigenous Youth Association (AIYA) has called for the immediate withdrawal of the military Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) personnel from Agatu Local Government Area of Benue state, alleging inefficiency and failure to respond to intelligence reports on attacks in the area.

In a petition addressed to the Commandant of Operation Whirl Stroke, Major General Moses Gara, the group accused military personnel stationed in the area of failing in their responsibility to protect lives and property of the people.

The petition, signed by the Convener and Interim National President of AIYA, Ochokwunu Edor, specifically raised concerns over the conduct of the Agatu Unit Commander, alleging that residents had lost confidence in the military presence in the area.

“Our people no longer feel safe under the protection of the military, and we have lost total trust in their ability and willingness to secure our lives and property,” the group stated.

“We fear that we may wake up one day and be killed by the same people we believe are protecting us,” the petition added.

The youths accused the military of alleged insubordination, lack of proactive security measures, intimidation of local youths, and failure to carry out routine patrols except when allegedly provided with logistics support by residents.

According to the petition, “there are no security patrols, except when contacted. When contacted, personnel allegedly start demanding for fueling, and even when fuel is provided, they move to the affected area at their own will and time.”

AIYA further alleged that the military failed to act on intelligence reports ahead of attacks on some communities in the local government area.

The group cited the May 2, 2026 attack on Odugbeho community, claiming that despite intelligence reports warning of an impending attack, no security personnel were deployed to the area

Army Clashed With IPOB/ESN In Enugu, Recovers IEDs

Troops of Sector 1, Operation UDO KA, have destroyed a suspected ritual shrine and recovered improvised explosive devices during an operation against alleged members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network, in Imezi Owa, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State

The Army said troops on an intelligence-led patrol came under attack from gunmen operating from a building allegedly used as a hideout by IPOB and ESN members.

It stated that three soldiers sustained injuries during the exchange of gunfire and were evacuated to a military medical facility for treatment.

“During the exchange of fire, improvised explosive devices stored by the terrorists in the building used as their hideout detonated and triggered a fire outbreak that destroyed the hideout,” the statement added.

According to the military, troops recovered additional IEDs, improvised hand grenades and a shrine allegedly used for ritual activities during a subsequent search of the area.
