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.
