Apparently the gunmen attacked troops deployed to
Aguata LGA of Anambra state, during which troops swiftly mobilized to the scene. Realizing their folly the gun men fled the scene. Running from Nigerian troops is akin to turning your back and running from a pride of lions, as troops embarked on a hot pursuit of the assailants.
The troops caught up with the fleeing gunmen and put what they have been practising in Exercise Golden Dawn to good use, engaging and neutralizing all the gunmen.
Items recorvered include AK-47 rifles, Galil Ace 5. 56 x45 Iwi Gun and one Black Highlander jeep.
In a seperate incident troops foiled another attack by ESN gunmen at a checkpoint, in Orumba South LGA when ESN gunmen on a dark blue Ford and three motobikes attacked.

.. Again the gunmen took to their heels. Again troops went on pursuit, puting their week long training exercise to good use, overwelming the gunmen
Now, there is an upcoming election in Anambra state and it would seem ESN operatives are taking a playbook from insurgents by trying to derail the democratic process by instilling fear into the minds of the voting public and generally creating instability.
