The Nigerian Army Saturday said, while conducting a mop-up operation in Dikwa, Borno State, troops of the 7 Division discovered that Boko Haram elements had converted the abandoned chemistry laboratory of the Dikwa College of Education into an Improvised Explosive Devices-making factory.
The disclosure was contained in a statement signed by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman.
It was further stated that four Toyota Hilux vehicles were recovered during the operation, to clear Dikwa and its environs of Boko Haram elements, while a welding machine as well as a mine detector, were also recovered from the abandoned laboratory.
This is as the Army said the troops are in high spirit, as they are determined to rout Boko Haram fighters from all their enclaves.
