News: Troops uncover 147 bombs in Borno

A total of 147 cluster bombs have been uncovered in Auno
village in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
Addressing a press conference in Maiduguri on Tuesday,
the Borno State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Clement
Adoda, said the bombs were uncovered at a location of
about 27 kilometers from the state capital, Maiduguri,
He said, “I am glad that at about 9am on Sunday, 147
unexploded cluster ordinances were recovered at about two
kilometers away from Auno village, near Jakana, Konduga
Local Government Area of Borno state.”
Adoda added that a combined team of bomb disposal unit,
policemen and troops, attached to Jakana general area, led
by Capt. Daniel Yakubu, sighted the explosives, recovered
and destroyed them in good time without injuries or
damages to lives and property.
The commissioner further explained that the state bomb
disposal team had also recovered unexploded ordinance,
suspected to have been launched during one of the Boko
Haram attacks on Maiduguri in one of the Boys’ Quarters at
the residence of the state Director of the National Youth
Service Corps along Damboa Road, Maiduguri.
According to him, the explosives were detonated safely
without damages to lives and property, noting that this feat
wouldn’t have been achieved without the timely rendering of
information to security agencies by members of the public.
The commissioner urged members of the public to always
call on security agencies whenever items suspected to be

“This is the only way to avert further wanton destruction to
lives and property in the state,” the CP said.

the people of the state for not taking the laws into their
hands, noting that the postponement did not portend any
danger to the process and the outcome of the general
