The Nigerian Army says it has discovered an abandoned chemistry laboratory at the Dikwa College of Education, in Borno, which has been converted into a bomb factory.
The laboratory had been taken over by Islamist sect, Boko Haram, for the purpose of making improvised explosive devices.
The discovery was made by the army during an operation to flush out the insurgents from Dikwa – which was recently liberated.
Deputy Director, Army Public Relations and spokesman for the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Col. Tukur Gusau, made the announcement on Saturday, August 1, in Maiduguri.
“Troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, conducting mop-up operations to clear Dikwa and environs of Boko Haram terrorists, recovered 4 Toyota Hilux vehicles today (Saturday).
“They also discovered that the terrorists have converted the abandoned Chemistry laboratories of Dikwa College of Education into an Improvised Explosives Devices making factory.
“Some of the equipment recovered from the laboratories include a welding machine and mine detector.
“The gallant troops are in a very high spirit and more determined to further pursue the fleeing terrorists to all known enclaves and sanctuaries,” he concluded.
