BokoHaram terrorists have converted the abandoned Chemistry laboratory of Dikwa College of Education in Borno State, North-East Nigeria, into a factory for the manufacture of bombs.
The discovery was made today by troops conducting mop up operations to clear Dikwa and environs of terrorists, Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said.
He wrote minutes ago in a Facebook update: “Troops of 7 Division Nigerian Army conducting mop up operations to clear Dikwa and environs of Boko Haram terrorists recovered 4 Toyota Hilux vehicles today. They also discovered that the terrorists have converted the abandoned Chemistry laboratory of Dikwa College of Education into an Improvised Explosives Devices making factory. Some of the equipment recovered from the laboratory include a welding machine and mine detector.”
Col. Usman said that “the gallant troops are in a very high spirit and more determined to further pursue the fleeing terrorists to all known enclaves and sanctuaries.”
