Troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, have again succeeded in bursting a secret Boko Haram terrorists’ Improvised Explosive Device factory in Ngala town, north eastern Nigeria.
Boko Haram has continued to attack innocent citizens, military and soft targets through vehicular and human borne IEDs.
But despite ongoing clearance of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, they have been able to hide their IED manufacturing factories location.
In a statement on Sunday, Army spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, said based on intelligence, troops swooped on one of such factories in Ngala town, destroyed it and killed some of the Boko Haram terrorists.
“20 gas cylinders of various sizes prepared and ready for explosive insertion, primers, gun powder, electric wires and tape recorders, amongst other items were found.
“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,” it added.
