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.
