Over three dozen coppers have been killed in the past two months in assassinations on coppers and facilities. The attacks have occurred mainly in the South-east and South-south regions of Nigeria.
The police and other security agencies have blamed the attacks on IPOB,

an outlawed secessionist group, and its security network, ESN. The group has, however, denied any involvement.
Dozens of suspected members of the ESN have been killed or arrested as security agencies move to quell the attacks. The Nigerian Army last week announced that its officials had arrested another top ESN official.
To prevent further attacks and restore peace in the South-east and South-south regions, the acting inspector general of police, Usman Alkali, last week launched a new outfit 'Operation Restore Peace' in the two regions.
