The Nigerian Army said, yesterday, that its troops had succeeded in busting another Boko Haram bomb making factory in Ngala, Borno State, as clearance operation to rid the state of remnants of the terrorists continued.
Boko-Haram-Bombs
The discovery of the factory came just as the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, vowed that gallant officers and men of the Nigerian Army, who paid the supreme sacrifice in the course of prosecuting the ongoing war on terror or in any theatre of operation, would never be forgotten.
The army chief also disclosed that contrary to allegations that the Nigerian Army was responsible for the death of hundreds of Shiite Islamist, the misuse of bombs and Russian-made Molotov gun by the group against the army led to the killing of their followers because they were not trained in the use of the guns.
A statement signed by Colonel Sani Usman, detailing how the bomb factory was discovered, said: “On Friday, April 30, 2016, the ever hard-working troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade of Operation Lafiya Dole, again succeeded in busting a secret Boko Haram terrorists’ improvised explosive making device factory in Ngala town, North Eastern Nigeria.
“Recall that despite their defeat, the terrorists continued to attack innocent citizens, military and soft targets through vehicular and human bore Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
“Despite ongoing clearance of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, they persistently hid the IED manufacturing factories location.
“However, that would be no more, thanks to the efficient intelligence and resilience of our troops. It was based on this that we got credible and timely information that made troops to swoop on one of such factories in Ngala town, destroyed it and killed some of the Boko Haram terrorists.
“In addition, they recovered 20 gas cylinders of various sizes prepared and ready for explosive insertion, primers, gun powder, electric wires and tape recorders, amongst other items.
