The Nigerian military prosecuting the war on terror disclosed, yesterday, that troops of 3 Division of the Nigerian Army have dismantled a Boko Haram fuel dump in Borno State.
A statement issued by Colonel Sani Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations in this regard, said: “Following a tip-off by well-meaning citizens, troops of 3 Division yesterday swooped on, and dismantled a Boko Haram fuel dump located at Ladu Dumbawa ward, Guzamala Local Government Area of Borno State.
“It would be recalled that suspected Boko Haram terrorists had abducted seven persons in Gajabere and took them to the same location. “Those kidnapped were three local ward heads called Lawani and their respective deputies, as well as the chief imam of the town.
“However, through sheer guts and bravery, three of them escaped and reported the matter to the security, which led to the rescue of the rest and discovery of the well concealed terrorists’ fuel depot, which was also destroyed by troops. “The troops have further blocked the terrorists supply route that leads to Babangida in Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State, where they mostly get the supplies.
“Troops are intensifying efforts to identify and neutralize all Boko Haram logistics bases to further constrict the terrorists and hasten their total defeat.
“Citizens are requested to furnish the military and security agencies with information on all known terrorists’ location, routes, suppliers of fuel, food, clothing and any good or service to the terrorists.”
