The troops of 25 Task Force Brigade Nigerian Army today uncovered and destroyed another Improvised Explosives Device (IED) making factory at Miyati and Nyaleri villages along Maiduguri-Bulabulin-Damboa road, in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
A statement released by the acting director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, states that the discovery was made during a cordon and search operation at Sandia, Kokakowa and Nyaleri villages suspected to be Boko Haram enclaves early today.
Excerpt from the statement:
“Three terrorists were arrested comprising an “Ameer”, a high contact and a foot soldier. Among items discovered apart from the IED making equipment, were a Peugeot pick up van, foodstuffs, 10-KVA Lister generator, gas cylinders, borehole, 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.
