Troops of 5 Battalion operating under 16 Brigade, Nigerian Army, in a raid operation on Sunday 25th June, 2023, at Azuzuama Community in Ijaw South Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, have captured an armoury located in a camp from where suspected  unrepentant militants and illegal oil bunkerers carry out their nefarious activities.
During the operation, the highly motivated troops subdued the suspected militants with superior firepower, compelling them to abandon their camp in disarray.
According to Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director Army Public Relations, the well-conducted raid operation led to the recovery of 5 AK 47 Rifles, 2 Rocket Propelled Grenade Bombs, 4 Rocket Grenade Bomb Chargers, seven 7.62mm Special ammunition, 14 AK 47 Rifle Magazines and one pumping machine. Other items recovered included two 16-inch anchored verve, one mallet hammer, one pipe range spinner and one axe. The illicit camp has been destroyed by the troops.
The Nigerian Army expressed appreciation to members of the public and urged all to continue to provide timely and credible information in support of the ongoing effort by the Nigerian Army to ensure that oil theft in the South-South region comes to zero level.
