TROOPS BURSTS BOKO HARAM BOMB MAKING FACTORY

On Friday 30th April 2016, the ever hard
working troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade
of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, have again
succeeded in bursting a secret Boko
Haram terrorists’ Improvised Explosive
making Device factory in Ngala town,
north eastern Nigeria.
It will recalled that despite their defeat,
the terrorists continued to attack innocent
citizens, military and soft targets through
vehicular and human borne Improvised
Explosive Devices (IED). 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 and 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.
It is heart-warming to inform the public
that troops in various parts of the theatre
of operation LAFIYA DOLE are doing well
and their morale remain very high.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
