Security operatives in Kogi State today discovered a bomb factory suspected to belong to members of the radical sect Boko Haram, agencies reported today.
Unexploded Improvised Explosive Devices, five hand grenades and other bomb-making component were discovered in factory, an uncompleted four-bedroom building in Kabba in central Kogi state.
According to reports, the team of State Security Service agents, police officers and soldiers had raided the building at about 2p.m., following up on intelligence reports gathered during prior investigations.
An anti-bomb squad was on hand to safely recover the explosives and other components, such as NPK fertiliser and other chemicals used in IEDs, as well as cable wires, a transistor radio and other tech devices.
Mr. Cletus Nzeji, the Commander for the anti-bomb squad said the recovered items would be taken into evidence and further analysed.
He confirmed that the explosives recovered had been of a high calibre with the capacity to do major damage.
Nzeji assured that while no arrests have been made, investigations were ongoing to ascertain if the weapons belonged to robbers of members of the Boko Haram sect.
Last week, two members of the sect died in Kaduna state when military agents raided a bomb factory in the city.
Nzeji promised that the owners of the building in Kogi would be found out and the building will be demolished.

ReplyDeleteNawa o.... Maybe its time we end the use of Gas Celinda in Nigeria for BH sake.
ReplyDeleteIf some of you guys were not so ignorant, you would know that the gas cylinder will not be containin cookin gas, nd what appears to be electric cable is actually a highly volatile fuse for high impact detonation. Its not rocket science, even elementary science will tell u what cooking gas under high pressure can do- my advice, go to school
