TROOPS of the 34 Brigade, under the 82 Division based in Owerri, Imo State, conducted a swift and targeted operation at the home of “Gentle De Yahoo“, a suspected leader of a criminal network, located in Aku, Ihube, within Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State, according to confirmations from the Nigerian Army.

Reports circulating on social media and across news platforms on Tuesday indicated that the troops captured Gentle De Yahoo, a feared Commander of the so-called “Unknown Gunmen” gang, which has been linked to v!olent attacks in Imo State and other parts of the South-East.

The Nigerian Army said that while troops raided Gentle’s house and k!lled his second-in-command (two IC), two female and two male fighters, the military has yet to confirm if Gentle himself was among those k!lled during the operation.

“Since the summary execution of some youths who were part of his gang, many people have been worried that why should we have this kind of individual on the loose taking lives and generally doing whatever pleased him.

“In the past, efforts have been made to capture him and bring him to justice this time around, the Nigerian Army, 34 Brigade based in Owerri, Imo State, under 82 Division, stormed his community in Aku, Ihube, a village in Okigwe Local Government Area that shares boundary with Abia and Anambra states,” the Army said.

According to the Army, the operation was carefully executed on foot to avoid detection.

“The soldiers went on foot and trekked for close to four hours. They didn’t want to use armoured vehicles like they did in the past. It was more like a commando mission,” the Army explained.

The Army said that during the operation, the troops surrounded Gentle’s building but came under fire from his fighters, who fired at the soldiers from the roof.

“They surrounded his house, went in and Gentle’s boys were firing from the ceiling and our troops returned fire.

“When they saw that the guys who were firing from the roof were not going to come down, the army had no choice but to set the building ablaze,” the Army said.

The raid led to multiple casualties among Gentle De Yahoo’s fighters.

“Once the building was set ablaze, two females and three males jumped out of the building and attempted to escape but the army opened fire but there were still three persons left on the roof who refused to come out.

“One of them was his two IC, who eventually jumped out and scaled the wall but the troops fired on him and they k!lled his two IC.

“The two females who were with them were also k!lled, as well as two males,” the Army said.

The Army said the troops recovered the corpses of two female and two male fighters, but could not yet confirm if one of the male fighters k!lled was the dreaded Gentle De Yahoo or not.

“At this time, what I can report is that the soldiers recovered those two corpses of the male fighters but they cannot confirm yet whether Gentle De Yahoo was one of the persons who were confirmed k!lled in the incident.

“But the villagers who have been under ceaseless harassment from him confirmed that his two IC (second-in-command) were dead, and they are still trying to confirm whether he is among the two other guys k!lled,” the Army clarified.

The Army stressed that while confirmation of Gentle De Yahoo’s deqh ath was still pending, the operation significantly weakened his gang.

“We just have to wait and get confirmation. We are in the process of confirming whether he is among those k!lled but there is no escape for him,” the Army said.

“We cannot say categorically at this time that he was k!lled or he found a way to escape. In the fullness of time, the true situation will be confirmed, and we will tell Nigerians the exact situation and confirm whether Gentle De Yahoo has been k!lled or not.”
