Military uncovers bomb factory in Borno (photos)


The troops of 25 Task Force Brigade Nigerian Army today uncovered and destroyed another Improvised Explosives Device (IED) making factory at Miyati and Nyaleri villages along Maiduguri-Bulabulin-Damboa road, in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.




A statement released by the acting director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, states that the discovery was made during a cordon and search operation at Sandia, Kokakowa and Nyaleri villages suspected to be Boko Haram enclaves early today.

The statement in part reads
"Three terrorists were arrested comprising an “Ameer”, a high contact and a foot soldier. Among items discovered apart from the IED making equipment, were a Peugeot pick up van, foodstuffs, 10-KVA Lister generator, gas cylinders, borehole, pumping machine, 3 bags of maize, 1 bag of millet and 13 empty AGO jerry cans, amongst others. The joint operation between the Brigade and Nigerian Air Force who provided air cover and tracking, was part of the determined effort by the military to rout out terrorists in the general area and open more roads hitherto held by the terrorists for public usage. It is also part of the renewed effort and vigour on the part of our troops to meet up with the set dateline that has turned the tide and momentum of the battle against the Boko Haram terrorists in our country. I am glad to say that the troops are on high morale and very excited with their accomplishment thus far. In a related development, troops have made substantial progress in an advance to reclaim and destroy terrorists held areas within Gamboru Ngala general area".

  1. the biggest problem nigeria face we have no National ID Card, i travel many country and when you arrived first thing is fingerprints...........Probably almost everybody knows that an identity card is a piece of cardboard or plastic that is shown to security guards, police officers, immigration staff. Cards are issued by all manner of organisations: universities issue them to staff and students, governments issue them to citizens, companies issue them to their staff. Most of these cards contain some basic details such as name, a photograph of the person's face and a reference number that allows the card to matched to some central record held by the card issuer.,........Put simply biometric information is information about a specific person's body. Hair colour and height are simple examples of biometric information. However for identification purposes hair colour and height are not very useful information because they change relatively rapidly (hair colour is changed by dye or by sunshine or by age; a person's height varies throughout the day according to the pressure on the spine). For identification purposes the most well known type of biometric information is the fingerprint; these are used because it is believed that no two people have the same patterns in the skin of their fingers and the patterns are relatively constant; they might change a little as a person gains or loses weight but the patterns remain recognisable. Another commonly used form of biometric information is DNA sequences. DNA is the biological code that is present in every cell in the body and that describes each individual person.......The government has not had much to say about how the information will be used. Their silence is understandable because they know that the truth will be quite unpalatable to any sensible person who has more than a modicum of understanding of history. Two simple facts need to be understood:

    First, merely issuing identification cards doesn't achieve anything ... identification cards only have any purpose if they are checked and used to control access to places and services.

    Second, the information on the card has to be checked against some other list. Since that list will be stored on a computer it means that every use of the card can be monitored and traced and since that card is inextricably linked to you, that means that your activity can be monitored and you can be traced
