A team of Nigerian troops deployed from the 22 Brigade  Garrison, Army Headquarters Strike Group (AHQ SG) had Sunday carried out a fighting patrol in remote villages around Bama Local Government Area of  Borno state where they dislodged a bomb factory located in a primary school and arrested 6 Boko Haram insurgents, officials said.

The strike group, led by courageous operatives of the Civilian-JTF 
stormed Boboshe, Garna, Kyare, Kadawu, Gineba and Ajiri  where they recovered lots of devices used for making Improvised   Explosive Devices (IED).

Spokesman of the nation's Army, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, confirmed this in a statement issued to journalist last night.

"Although the fighting patrol team found Boboshe village  virtually empty, they however  recovered 8  industrial gas cylinders and 5  regular gas cylinders at a Primary School being used for IED making and  also recovered a Pickup vehicle", he said.

"The patrol team captured 3 Boko Haram terrorists at  Kadawu and recovered 4 motorcycles, 3  bicycles 1 solar panel and 2   liquid herbicides.  

"At Garna,  the  troops  also captured 3  and recovered  7 locally made guns from them", Colonel Usman, an Acting Director Army Public Relations, said.

Boboshe has been a notorious den of criminals even before the coming of Boko Haram insurgents.  Those that know the area well said the village which is one of the biggest in the general area under Bama Local Government Area, has two Village heads and hold its market twice a week. Boko Haram had its perfect recruits there as most of the criminals easily transformed into Boko Haram when the call came.
