The General Officer Commanding 82 Division Nigerian Army and Commander Joint Task Force South-East Operation UDO KA, Maj.-Gen. OA Fadairo, alongside the Chief of Army Staff (Administration), Maj.-Gen. T.B. Ugiagbe, have visited troops deployed at Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State to assess ongoing operations in the area.
Security sources said the visit on April 5 was aimed at obtaining first-hand information on operational activities around the area popularly referred to as the “Mother Valley”.
The team was received by the Commander of 34 Artillery Brigade Garrison, Lt.-Col. J. Abu.
During the visit, the senior officers were briefed on operational successes recorded, key achievements, and challenges encountered by troops in the course of ongoing clearance operations.
They were also conducted on a guided tour of key locations around the area, including strategic observation points overlooking the “Mother Valley”, where they assessed the extent of terrain covered and areas cleared by troops.
The assessment, according to security sources, was intended to support further deployment planning aimed at denying criminal elements suspected to be linked to Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed wing Eastern Security Network freedom of action within the locality.
The visit was conducted without any security incident.
