The Nigerian Military High Command has vowed to bring full military weight on the proscribed Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) over the killing of some soldiers at a checkpoint at Aba in Abia on Thursday.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, vowed that the military would be fierce in its response to the act and bring overwhelming pressure on the group to ensure their total defeat.
Buba confirmed that the terrorists who were in three tinted SUVs and others from built-up areas surrounding the checkpoint, sprang a surprise attack on the soldiers at the checkpoint.
He further said investigations are ongoing concerning the attack.
