Apart from the properties, two of the security men and one defense officer were killed on the spot.

Further Update

Following the attack on the country home of Gov. Hope Uzodinma at Omuma recently, the joint operation of Army, Police, and DSS swiftly trailed the base of IPOB at Awomama in Oru East. A gun duel ensued leading to the death of Ikonso who was the IPOB 2nd in command in the southeast and 6 other members, on one hand, and 1 Army officer and 3 policemen on the other hand.

Consequently, IPOB has vowed to avenge the death of lkonso on the governor and make the state ungovernable. On the other hand, the security agencies have vowed to deal decisively with IPOB.
