An alleged bomb factory was said to have been discovered in Iddo, Okpella, after one of the explosives exploded. One of the suspected bomb makers was killed in the explosion. One of the victim’s legs was also chopped off by the blast report says.
According to online report, the building where the suspected bombs were manufactured is a three- bedroom apartment which the villagers said was occupied by some men from Kogi State.
A source in the village said youths in the area mobilised and nabbed some occupants in the building. One of the occupants, who reportedly escaped with a car loaded with prepared explosives, arms and ammunitions, abandoned the vehicle along a bush path and fled.
President of Iddo Youth Movement, Mohammad Mohammad, said:
“We all came out when we heard the sound and informed the people that explosion killed somebody. When we got to the place one of the occupants we met immediately escaped in a vehicle.
So the youths gave him a hot chase shouting that he had killed somebody and he was subsequently arrested and taken to the Divisional Police Officer before his onward transfer to the area commander.” Wife of one of the suspects and her children were also taken into custody.
Meanwhile, in May 2017, Troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade of the Nigerian Army rescued 998 people from Boko Haram captivity, and destroyed a bomb factory during a fighting patrol in some villages in Borno.
According to a statement by the army, the “patrol team had a fierce encounter with the terrorists at Ndufu which they decisively dealt with before proceeding to clear Muktu and Muzuri, as well as nearby communities within the area.”
The statement added that about nine terrorists were killed and an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) making factory was destroyed.
We pray God intervenes in the situation of Nigeria.
