The Nigerian army today released a series of
photos showing its engineers removing mines and Improvised Explosive Devises
planted along the northeastern highway linking Gwoza to Yamteke in Borno state.
A statement issued by Colonel Tukur Ismail Gusau of the 7 Division of
the Nigerian Army reads:
“In the Nigerian Army's determined efforts to clear all roads in the
North East of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by Boko Haram
Terrorists, troops of 7 Division Nigerian Army during clearance and linking up
operations have successfully recovered 5 IEDs planted on the road linking
Gwoza-Yamteke road.
The explosives have since been defused and destroyed by the team of
Nigerian Army Engineers. Similarly, the troops conducting clearance operations
in Dikwa area following routing out of terrorists in the area couple of days
ago, discovered a hideout in which weapons and equipment suspected to be
used by the Boko Haram terrorists for construction of IEDs were hidden.
These includes 5 Drilling Machines, 1 Filing Machine, 2 Cutting
Machine, 1 Disc Filing Machine, 52 Compact Discs, 9 Rocket Propelled Grenades
(RPG) 7 Charges, 1 105mm Pack Howitzer, 1 BMG Tripod stand and 1 Cutting and
Drilling Machine. It is instructive that the troops are more than ever ready to
ensure that the Boko Haram Terrorists are flushed out, and peace is restored by
all means.”
