The Nigerian Army
declared Monday that following the heat generated by the military’s air
and land assault on Boko Haram hideouts and remaining camps inside
Sambisa Forest, the Chief Bomb maker of the terrorists’ sect, was killed
 as he made attempt to escape from the forest.

Also, another IED specialist in the camp of the terrorists’ who was
manufacturing explosive device that would have been used in a suicide
bombing attack, had lost his eyes when the bomb inexplicably went off
resulting in shrapnel piercing and blinding him.


A statement from Army headquarters confirming the development, signed by
 Col Sani Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations said, “In what
will be described as a major breakthrough in the clearance and rescue
operation by the Nigerian military and to also confirm that all is not
well within the Boko Haram terrorists camp, their chief bomb maker and a
 high ranking terrorist, was shot dead today (Monday).

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

“His death is coming after their Chief Scientist, called Abu RPG (was
killed long ago) in a military assault.

“The chief bomb maker was killed by one of the body guard of the Boko
Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about to run away
just like several others are doing because of the intensity of
‘Operation Crackdown’.

“In a related development, one Julelebeeb who was appointed to take over
 is now completely blind because his two eyes were shattered by
shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED to consolidate his
appointment.


“There is no doubt; this development has dealt a devastating blow on the
 terrorist’s capacity on IED preparation, suicide bombing and their
ability to sustain their criminal acts.

“We would like to reassure the public that our troops are continuing
with the clearance and rescue operations successfully in order to
completely clear Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding.
