Troops of the 25 Task Force Brigade of
the Nigerian Army have uncovered a
major bomb-making factory and arrested
a terrorist leader and two others, the
spokesperson for the army, Sani Usman,
has said.
Mr. Usman, a colonel, described the
finding as “an unprecedented feat” in
the fight against the extremist Boko
Haram sect in its area of operations.
A statement by Mr. Usman Friday,
said the Task Force Brigade, during a
cordon and search operation at
Sandia, Kokakowa and Nyaleri
villages, suspected to be Boko Haram
enclaves, uncovered and destroyed
the Improvised Explosives Device
(IED) making factory at Miyati and
Nyaleri villages, along the Maiduguri-
Bulabulin-Damboa road, in Damboa
Local Government Area of Borno
State.
“In addition, three terrorists were
arrested comprising an “Ameer”, a
high contact and a foot soldier,” the
army spokesperson said.
He added, “Among items discovered
apart of the IED making equipment,
were a Peugeot pick up van,
foodstuff, 10-KVA Lister generator,
gas cylinders, borehole, 9 bags of
fertiliser, pumping machine, 3 bags of
maize, 1 bag of millet and 13 empty
AGO jerry cans, amongst others.
“The joint operation between the
Brigade and Nigerian Air Force who
provided air cover and tracking, was
part of the determined effort by the
military to rout out terrorists in the
general area and open more roads
hitherto held by the terrorists for
public usage. It is also part of the
renewed effort and vigour on the part
of our troops to meet up with the set
dateline that has turned the tide and
momentum of the battle against the
Boko Haram terrorists in our country.
“I am glad to say that the troops are
on high morale and very excited with
their accomplishment thus far.
“In a related development, troops
have made substantial progress in an
advance to reclaim and destroy
terrorists held areas within Gamboru
Ngala general area.”
