Nigeria soldiers fighting the insurgent group Boko Haram discover a bomb making factory where Improvised Explosive Device IED use in wrecking destruction and massive death are been made in Yobe
According to the Director of Information, Defence Headquarter, Major General Chris Olukolade, the factory was discovered during a cordon and search operation going on in Buni Yadi,Gujba local Government Area of Yobe,with huge quantities of IED  found.

Major Gen Olukolade said“The factory, which was located in a fertilizer company, has also converted some of the materials therein for production of all types of IEDs. Troops are still evacuating the materials which include a large quantity of suicide bomber vests from the facility to their base.

“It is believed that the heavy calibre bomb used in blowing up the bridge between Damaturu and Buni Yadi was produced in the factory.

“The terrorists were sacked from Buni Yadi after a military assault that was conducted last Saturday.  The troops advance was delayed by the series of IEDs planted on the highway leading to Buni Yadi.  Four soldiers died from such IEDs in the course of the operation to clear terrorists from the town.

“This discovery is expected to degrade the capability of terrorists in the production of explosives, which they have been using lavishly in the area until they were dislodged from their stronghold,” he said.
