Troops dismantle Boko Haram’s fuel depot

Following a tip off by well meaning citizens, troops of the 3 Division on Thursday 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 wards heads, popularly known as Lawani, and their 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.
The fuel depot was also destroyed by troops.
The troops have further blocked the terrorists supply route that led to Babangida in Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State, where they mostly get the supplies.
A statement by the military on Thursday said: “Troops are intensifying efforts to identify and neutralise all Boko Haram logistic bases to further constrict the terrorists and hasten their total defeat. Citizens are please 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.”
