The Nigerian Army has recovered the bodies of four soldiers allegedly killed by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Orlu, Imo State.
A vehicle Vandalised during the onslaught has also been found.
A military source confirmed the development to journalists on Wednesday.
Memebers of the outlawed movement had ambushed the soldiers on the escort of the Director of Civil Affairs, Brigadier General H. E. Nzan.
General Nzan and an Army team were on an inspection trip to the Civil-Military Project at Nkwerre. The attackers took away the slain soldiers’ rifles and their vehicles.
After the incident, a joint operation was carried out in Orlu by the Army, Air Force, and the Police.
On Monday, troops arrested 20 alleged members of IPOB over attacks on security agents.
