The Nigerian Army says Soldiers on Thursday killed five suspected
Boko Haram fighters in a raid at a bomb making factory in Kaduna,
north-central Nigeria.

Army spokesman in Kaduna Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman said Boko
Haram fighters opened fire at the soldiers while they were
approaching the illicit bomb factory.

“On approaching the factory, some suspected terrorists opened fire
and also threw already primed IED at the troops. The exchange of fire
that ensued resulted in the death of five terrorists, while two that
sustained various degrees of injuries are being treated.” He stated

According to him, the soldiers destroyed the bomb factory and
recovered several guns, rifles and other dangerous bomb making
chemicals.

Col Usman “urged the public to always report suspicious movement to
the concerned authorities” saying without tip off the raid of the bomb
factory wouldn’t have been possible.

Kaduna is considered as a strong base of the criminal Islamic
extremist group Boko Haram. The group has killed hundreds of
people in attacks primarily targeting Christians, churches,
government buildings, police, soldiers and other security agencies.
