Troops have again succeeded in bursting a secret Boko Haram terrorists’ Improvised Explosive Device [IED] making factory in Ngala town, north eastern Nigeria.
The operation was executed on Friday, 30th April, 2016.
It was executed by the ever hardworking troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade of Operation LAFIYA DOLE.
It will be recalled that despite their defeat, the terrorists continued to attack innocent citizens, military and soft targets.
They continue to this through vehicular and human borne Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Despite ongoing clearance of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, they persistently hid the IEDs manufacturing factories location.
However, that would be no more, thanks to the efficient intelligence and resilience of the troops.
It was based on this that we got credible and timely information about the nefarious activities of the terrorists.
The troops swooped 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.
