Insurgency in Niheria :NSCDC uncovers two bomb factories in Borno

The Borno State Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps on Sunday discovered two bomb-making factories in Dikwa.

The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, said this  in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Maiduguri.

Abdullahi said that the factories were discovered during a patrol by men of the command in collaboration with the troops of the 22 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army.

He said, “In an effort to comply with the directives of the Ministerial Committee on Resettlement of Liberated Towns by the military, the NSCDC had deployed its personnel in Dikwa and are working hand in hand with the military.

“This collective effort has, therefore, led to the discovery of two major bomb-making factories in two abandoned houses.

“Our Detection and Bomb Disposal Unit, Intelligence and Detective Operation Unit in collaboration with the troops of 22 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army have since neutralised some of the live IEDs.

“Some IEDs making equipment, gas cylinders and a jet bomb propeller were discovered and handed over to the brigade command.”
