The
Borno State Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps
(NSCDC) on Sunday discovered two bomb-making factories in Dikwa. The
NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi, made the disclosure
in an interview 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. “In an
effort to comply with the directives of the Ministerial Committee on
Resettlement of Liberated Towns by the military, NSCDC had deployed its
personnel to 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 neutralized 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.
“Men of the command also discovered 114
live machine gun ammunition along Dikwa-Mafa road just after Shehuri
Village that was abandoned by the insurgents,’’ Abdullahi said.
