Photos: Troops destroy Boko haram rocket factory in Borno

Press statement from the Nigerian Army...

The troops of 111 Special Forces Battalion, 7 Division Garrison Nigerian Army, during a special raid operation carried out on Tuesday at Delwa general area, discovered and knocked out Boko Haram terrorists' rocket factory at Jamrari, Borno State. This unprecedented development has put paid to the much touted ability of the terrorists to fabricate rockets and their launchers using rudimentary materials.

This has further crippled the terrorists and greatly embolden the troops in carrying out more offensive actions against the terrorists till they are defeated. The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, who is on constant communication with the troops, commended them for this singular act and other similar feats and encouraged them to do more more so that the terrorists are on the verge of being defeated.

Kindly disseminate this information and attached photographs of Boko Haram terrorists' locally fabricated rockets to the public through your medium. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
