Another Boko Haram fuel dump discovered in Maiduguri
The Nigerian Army
have discover another dumped of fuel used by the Boko Haram members. Below is the press statement released by Colonel Sani
Kukasheka Usman, the Acting Director Army Public Relations
Troops yesterday afternoon following a tip
off by well meaning citizens, discovered and raided yet another Boko Haram fuel
dump at Abbaganaram in Maiduguri city, Borno State.
During the operation, one
person, Musa Abba, was arrested and the following items were discovered and
confiscated; 11 drums of AGO, 1 empty drum, 192 of 25 litres jerrycans, (out of
which 70 were loaded with AGO, PMS and DPK), a Toyota bus and 1 Peugeot car.
Others include a motorcycle and an air conditioner.
The fuel depot was used to stockpile
Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants by Boko Haram terrorists and their equally
heartless collaborators for onward movement to the terrorists camps in Sambisa
forest. Over time we have been exhorting the public especially the residence of
the north eastern part of the country which has been mostly affected by the
acts of the Boko Haram terrorists to cooperate fully with the military and the
security agencies.
It is gratifying to note that such call is
being heeded to by overwhelming majority of people as exemplified by the
courageous and patriotic efforts of the good citizens that exposed this fuel
dump in their midst. It is important that people should see the fight against
the security menace of Boko Haram terrorism as collective responsibility.
Therefore the public are kindly requested to
be more vigilant and assist with useful information that would assist in
preventing Boko Haram terrorists from carrying out their nefarious acts against
the society. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
