Boko Haram’s Chief bomb maker confirmed dead

The Nigerian Army, on Monday, confirmed the
killing of Boko Haram’s Chief bomb maker by his
colleagues in one of their camps in the Sambisa
forest.

Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col.
Sani Usman, in a statement in Abuja, said that
the group’s bomb maker was shot while trying to
flee their camp.

He said the slain terrorist was a high ranking
officer in the command structure of the group.
According to Usman, his killing is a major
breakthrough in the clearance and rescue
operation by the Nigerian military and
confirmation that all is not well within the Boko
Haram terrorists’ camp.

“The Chief bomb maker, apart from his high
status in the command structure of the Boko
Haram terrorists, he was one of their capable
hands involved in making Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs).

“He was appointed after the demise of their
chief scientist called Abu RPG who has been
killed long ago in one of the operations
conducted by the troops.

“The chief bomb maker was killed by one of the
body guards of their leader, Abubakar Shekau, as
he was about to run away because of the
intensity of Operation CRACKDOWN.”

Usman said one ‘Julelebeeb’ who was appointed
to take over as the new bomb expert for the sect
was also reported to have gone blind.

According to Usman, his two eyes were shattered
by shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED
to consolidate his appointment as the sect’s new
bomb expert.

Usman said the development would impact
negatively on the terrorists’ capacity on IED
preparation, suicide bombing and their ability to
sustain their criminal acts.

He said troops were continuing with the
clearance and rescue operations successfully in
order to completely clear Boko Haram terrorists
wherever they might be hiding in Sambisa and environs.
