The Nigerian Army has declared Ifeanyi Eze Okorienta, popularly known as “Gentle The Yahoo,” wanted and announced a N30 million reward for credible information leading to his arrest.

The declaration was made under Operation Udoka by the Joint Task Force South-East, which described Okorienta as a threat to peace and security in the region.

In a wanted notice, the military urged members of the public to provide useful information that could assist security agencies in locating and apprehending the suspect.

The Army said anyone who provides credible information that directly leads to Okorienta’s capture would be entitled to the N30 million reward.

The task force also called on residents across the South-East to support ongoing security efforts aimed at tackling violence, criminality and other threats to public safety.

The military urged individuals with information about the wanted suspect’s whereabouts to pass it to the appropriate security authorities.

The declaration forms part of ongoing operations by security agencies in the South-East to identify and apprehend individuals considered to be involved in activities capable of undermining peace and security.

The Army stressed the importance of public cooperation in its efforts, particularly in gathering timely intelligence that could assist troops and other security personnel in their operations.

It urged residents not to shield criminals or provide them with support, while encouraging communities to work with security agencies to promote stability.

The military concluded its appeal with the message, “Give Peace a Chance,” reinforcing its call for residents to support efforts to restore and maintain peace across the region.

The Army did not provide further details in the wanted notice on the specific offences allegedly linked to Okorienta.

However, the N30 million bounty underscores the importance attached by the security authorities to information that could lead to his arrest.

Security agencies have increasingly relied on intelligence from local communities to track wanted individuals, particularly in areas where difficult terrain and extensive rural settlements can make conventional surveillance challenging.

The Joint Task Force South-East is expected to continue its operations as part of broader efforts to curb criminal activities and improve security across the region.
