Nigerian Army: Boko Haram Converted College Chemistry Lab In Dikwa To Bomb Factory



The Nigerian Army on Saturday said Boko Haram terrorists converted an abandoned chemistry laboratory at Dikwa College of Education in Borno State, to a bomb-making factory, before the town was retaken by government troops last week.
The acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said troops from the 7 division of the Nigerian Army in Mai¬duguri discovered the laboratory during a mop-up operation in the area.

Usman said some equipment including a welding machine and a mine detector were found at the makeshift factory.
Also recovered from the operation were four Toyota Hilux pickups.
“The gallant troops are in a very high spirit and more determined to further pursue the fleeing terrorists to all known enclaves and sanctuaries”, Mr. Usman said.
