A Bomb factory supposedly owned by Boko Haram exploded and three suspected members of Boko Haram inside the factory died.
Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF), Major General Ikechukwu Nwaogbo stated, “at about 9:00 am on Saturday, December 2011, an explosion occurred in Shehuri II of Bolori in Maiduguri Metropolis.”
Spokesperson of Major General Nwaogbo, Lt. Col. Hassan Mohammed further stated, “immediately after the blast, the Personnel of the JTF moved to the location and discovered on arrival that a house inhabited by unidentified, but suspected to be Boko haram sect members had exploded. The immediate cause of the explosion could not be ascertained and the area was cordoned off, after which the police Bomb Disposal Squad was called in for detailed investigations.
After investigations, security operatives discovered that the house was confirmed to be one used by suspected members of the Boko Haram as a major factory for the production of Improvised Eplosive Devises (IED’s).
Large quantities of unused IED materials, such as ready-to–detonate three drums which can contain 600 litres sealed with gun powder were found in the factory. What are you thinking?
