Nigerian Army declares ‘Gentle The Yahoo’ wanted, offers N30m reward

The Nigerian Army, under Operation Udoka, has declared one Ifeanyi Eze Okorienta, popularly known as ‘Gentle The Yahoo’, wanted and offered a N30 million reward for credible information leading to his arrest.

The Joint Task Force South-East, in a wanted notice, described the suspect as a threat to peace in the region, with members of the public urged to provide information that could assist security agencies in locating him.

The military said a reward of N30 million awaits anyone who provides credible information leading to his capture.

It charged residents to support efforts to curb violence and criminality in the region, with the message, “Give Peace a Chance.”

The notice read, “Members of the public with credible information are advised to contact the security authorities through 193 or 0806 795 9570, with assurances that information could be provided anonymously.”

The photograph of the suspect was displayed on the wanted notice, which also carried the message: “No Violence, No Criminality in the South East.”

This is coming after intensified security operations in the South-East targeting individuals suspected of involvement in violent and other criminal activities.

The public is also asked not to confront the suspect if sighted but to immediately pass any information to the security authorities through the designated channels.
