The police intelligence response team have arrested a dismissed army lance corporal allegedly responsible for training and recruiting people into the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant arm of the outlawed pro-Biafra group, IPOB.
He was arrested a few days after a top commander of the terror group, Awurum Eze, was arrested in Aba, Abia State.
Our source told us that the group is alleged to have been responsible for killings of security agents and destruction of public properties in the South-east and South-south zones.
Meanwhile, they have, however, denied the allegations while investigations have continued.
According to our source, the 32 years old dismissed soldier, whose name was given as Livinus Owalum-Barnabas, was arrested on Sunday, at Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT by men of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
The ex-soldier was said to have been recruited by some members of IPOB in Abuja and sent to train newly recruited IPOB/ESN in two of their training Camps in Abia and Delta States.
Upon his arrest, the suspect confessed to having been employed by the IPOB who promised to pay him double of what he was receiving in the army.
