Men of the 23rd Armoured Brigade, Yola, Adamawa
State of the Nigerian Army at the weekend, uncovered
another bomb factory at Arahan Kunu ward off Maiha-
Mubi Road, in Mubi, Adamawa State.
Mubi, in the recent time, faced series of attacks and
killings of students, leading to the discovery of a
number of bomb factories in the town.
The Brigade Commander, Brigadier General John
Nwoaga, who conducted journalists round the bomb
factory, said the brigade discovered it when the car of
one suspicious looking 24-year-old man, Mohammed
Ibrahim, was intercepted.
A search on the car had led to the discovery of a pistol,
different Nigerian and foreign currencies, phone SIM
cards and recharge cards.
According to Nwoaga, the recovery of the gun and the
sum of N3.5 million in the suspect’s car, with Lagos
registration number, CF 26 SMK, led to other
discoveries, including a factory in a house located in an
isolated suburb of Mubi, where Improvised Explosive
Devices (IED) and chemicals were found in the factory.
He revealed that during the search of the factory, the
army discovered grenades, police uniforms, teargas,
gunboats and a number of items in the ceiling.
General John Nwoaga said investigation was being
carried out by the brigade to unravel the source of the
money, pistol and communication materials recovered
from suspects.
He assured Nigerians that the army would do
everything possible to protect the lives and property of
innocent citizens, but appealed to the people to
cooperate with his men, as frantic efforts were being
made to bring the situation in Mubi under control.
He used the forum to debunk the unpalatable
allegations against the Nigerian Army, describing such
allegations as fabricated, malicious, unfounded and
untrue, as the army and other security agencies were
decisive in tackling security breaches in Adamawa
State.
