The troops of 25 Task Force Brigade Nigerian Army have
achieved an unprecedented feat today in the fight against Boko Haram
terrorists. The Brigade during a cordon and search operation at Sandia,
Kokakowa and Nyaleri villages suspected to be Boko Haram enclaves, discovered
and destroyed another Improvised Explosives Device (IED) making factory at
Miyati and Nyaleri villages, along Maiduguri-Bulabulin-Damboa road, in
Damboa LGA Borno State.
In addition, 3
terrorists were arrested comprising an “Ameer”, a high contact
and a foot soldier. Among items discovered apart of D IED making equipment,
were a Peugeot pick up foodstuffs, 10-KVA Lister generator, gas cylinders,
borehole, pumping machine, 3 bags of maize, bag of millet & 13 empty AGO
Jerry cans.
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 and momentum of the battle
against the Boko Haram terrorists in our country.
In a related development, troops have made substantial
progress in an advance to reclaim and destroy terrorists held areas
within Gamboru Ngala general area.
