By SaharaReporters, New York

The Nigeria Army has demolished a suspected Boko Haram bomb factory in Zaria, Kaduna State, recovering many important items.
The Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, who confirmed the action to SaharaReporters and also sent pictures of the recovered items, said that the incident followed a Cordon and Search Operation which it carried out with other security agencies in the Kwanar Shahada, Jushin Chiki area of the city.

He described the bomb factory as a two-bedroom bungalow, and that there were Improvised Explosive Devices in “stage one state of readiness.”
The operation also recovered several IED-making components that include:

•    17 Sensor Mechanical Timers (Remote Controls)
•    11 Primed Suicide Bombers Vests
•    36 Primed IEDs in “Bobo” cans
•    One military kitbag with support items like saw, hammer, cello tapes and guns
•    2 gallons of paint containing prepared IEDs
•    2 gallons of turkey oil brand with prepared IEDs
•    7 rolls of wires of various lengths
•    One bag containing several sensors
•    25 nine volt batteries

The spokesman said that a 60-year old man, Umaru Mohammed,was arrested within the premises, and the house demolished.
He did not say why it was essential to demolish the building rather than turn it over to the police for further investigation.

I am very sure you are one of

I am very sure you are one of them.see who is talking about tolerant, Islam tought you nothing but how to kill and distroy Inocent poeple. I have never seen a voulent religion as Islam so think befor you say a word.Its unfourtunate that we the peaceful christians have to share this country Nigeria with these set of people.Christianity is the best and most peaceful religion any peace loving human can think of. We do not believe in fighting back, otherwise this country would have been on fire by now and you know that. And this is because our leaders preach peace and love but not killings, You cant give LIVE so stop taking LIVE. STOP THE KILLING OF INNOCENT POEPLE!

Dont mind them

Islam has taught us to be tolerant, it has becomes obvious that many Xtians knows nothing about Islam and the hatred created in them by their pastors against Islam. The media propaganda can never subdue Islam particularly the nigerian Xtians. Let them focus on Europe and see how many of them are reverting to Islam despite the forces against Islam.

ijaw. n other groups fights for cause

My anger wit all those in the north n nigeria at large are those that wants jihad n islamic state them secretly supporting boko haram who fight only in killing the christains n innocent people,wat a tale in the day lihgt,or eyes wide shut?let's face the fact which sucide attack was successful on or in any mosque? N how many on churches? May be musques are security tight! Then one nigeria,true muslims that says no to unlawfull killings are always killed by fools boko haram n alais

Demolition of Boko Haram Factory

OBI the SHEHU, it is your type that fuel religious crises, why mentioning Prophet Mohammed and Quran, pretending to be a true christian, you have just display your ignorant and foolishness among reasonable populace that give/suggest a way forward comments. Just read other comments and see who is line with you? NOBODY. I thought you go school, but behaving like the BOKO HARAM. Open your heart and see reasons not like BOKO HARAM who doesn't. JUST RESPECT PROPHET MOHAMMED as MUSLIM RESPECT JESUS (ISA). Boko Haram activities are UNISLAMIC. that is why does muslims preached against them they killed them. So mind your speach, bcos Jesus would not be happy with you.

Nigeria Army Demolishes Boko Haram ‘Bomb Factory’ In Zaria

Those calling for Breaking of the country thought it would be easy, as if the BIAFRA is the solution, what is the guaratee that the IBO, IBIBIO,IJAW, ITSEKIRI, CALABARI and the rest tribes would live together peacefully when OIL has set bad blood among the brothers and sisters in that geolocation. Even with BOKO HARAM problems if you dont value some relative peace, then try SECESSION. How many people die last week in Bayelsa because of chieftancy strugle (all bcos of OIL. Pls Just Pray for PEACE am sure GOD would answer us, Mr President is trying his best, just support him with PRAYERS. God bless us all.

desroy boko haram not buildings

what happen to the factory workers? why were they not nabbed? is the mission of JTF to destroy houses of destroy boko haram? they have destroyed that factory but boko haram is still around to build more factories. Why didnt JTF mount surveillance on that building to see those go in and out and arrest and question them person to lead them to their sponsors? if they are not destrying evidence that may implicate those behind boko haram, the their strategy is very poor and cannot eradicate this menace for anytime soon

Destory Boko Haram links human & material

Soilders are trained basically to KILL & destroy period. The new thinking of Nigeria military to introduce training majoring in gorilla warfare is very commendable. People military action is usually surmmary no wasting of time. You don't dare the army & hope to go scot free anywhere in this world. Army (military generally) is not civil police!

I would like to hear that the

I would like to hear that the well-paid army is doing a face-to-face attack with Boko Haram instead of demolishing people's houses. It is obvious that in any frontal attack with BH the paid army will be routed. May Baal help the freedom fighters to stop corruption and break Nigeria up for us. Only those benefiting from corruption want one Nigeria.

Long live Biafra. Long live the Republic of Gabon. Long live the state of Israel. Death to oppressors.

Good job

Good job keep it up.

Good job

Good job keep it up.

Give dem free puff puff

Oga JTF i beg give your brave lion heart soldiers free PUFF PUFF & PEPSI,so they wont have to take it by force inbetween your next glorious effort.
We are in a state of virtual civil war and the best you can do is this?PLEASE bring out the boy scouts.
Im sure even they can do better.
This can only impress a fool.
Even deaf and dumb get sense,let alone us millions with common sense.

Items Not Reported Are: Qua'ran & Prophet Mohammad's Sword.

Missing items not reported are qu'ran & prophet mohammad's sword. Nigerian islamic army get it right.

BETWEEN THE RULE OF LAW AND LAW OF THE JUNGLE

"...Why should they turn it over to the police for further investigation ? The same Nigerian police who set Kabiru Sokoto free, what are they investigating in a house filled with weapons. Thanks to the Army for leveling the place. Let praise them when they do well, we musn't always criticise."

FIRST I BELIEVE BAKARE NIGERIANS ARE IDIOTS RULED BY FOOLS! NO LAW SAID A HOUSE THAT BOKO HARAM MEMBERS WERE FOUND SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED, NEITHER IS THE ARMY IN ANY CIVILISED COUNTRY ALLOWED TO DO INTERNAL PEACE-KEEPING WORK THAT IS THE EXCLUSIVE PRESERVE OF THE POLICE.KILL-AND-GO POLICY DID NOT SUBDUE THE NUGER DELTA MILITANTS IT STRENGTHEN THEM NEITHER WILL IT SUBDUE BOKO HARAM. WE MUST LEARN FROM LESSER DEMOCRATS SUCH AS EGYPT, THAT WHOEVER BREAKS THE LAW WE MUST RISE TOGETHER AND SAY NO!

I WILL ADVISE THAT IF THE POLICE FAIL IN ITS DUTY THEN THEY SHOULD BE FIXED. THE PRESIDENT HAS FAILED AND WE DID NOT CALL A WHITEMAN TO COME AND TAKEOVER.

NIGERIA WOULD BE UNGOVERNABLE IF THEY LOSE SYNDICATES

NAGODI IS MAKING A POINT BUT A BOKO HARAM SYMPATHIZER. I AGREE WHATEVER THE ARMY OR UNIFORM OFFICERS WANT TO DO AGAINST BOKO HARAM IT MUST BE A UNIFORM TREATMENT NOT SACRED COWS. BUT I MUST WARN NAGODI, IF NIGERIA SHOULD DEMOLISH ALL BOKO HARAM HIDEOUTS AND HOUSES WHERE THEY ARE FOUND OR KNOWN TO HAVE VISITED, THERE WOULD BE NO NORTHERN LEADERS LEFT. ALL YOUR NORTHERN GOVERNORS,NASS MEMBERS, EMIRS AND CRONIES WOULD LOSE THEIR HOUSES AND BUSINESSES. DO YOU THINK THAT THESE POOR AND ILLITERATE BOMBERS ARE FINANCIERS. IF JONATHAN IS MAN ENOUGH, HE SHOULD DEMOLISH THE HOUSES OF ABUBAKAR ATIKI, BUHARI, IBB, CIROMA, GOV. SHERRIF, AND OTHERS,WHOM SECURITY AGENCIES KNEW ARE AFFILIATED. IT IS THIS SACRED COW SYNDROME THAT IS FUELING THE CRISIS. THOSE WHO SAID NIGERIA WOULD BE UNGOVERNABLE ARE FINANCING THESE ISLAMIC FANATICS.ISLAMIC TEACHINGS ARE FEEDING BOKO HARAM.

BEST TIME TO BE A PROUD NIGERIA SOLDER IS NOW

FIRST I MUST CONGRATULATE NIGERIA ARMY AND OTHER AGENCIES WHO HAVE DONE A MARVELLOUS JOB IN CONTAINING THIS BOKO HARAM. SOLDIERS WERE NEVER TRAINED TO FIGHT ISLAMIST CUM SUCCIDE BOMBERS, NIGERIA ARMY ARE FEARLESS IN FIGHTING SUCCIDE BOMBERS-BRAVO! I AM NOT A FAN OF NIGERIA ARMY, BUT ALL OF THEM DESERVE DOUBLE PROMOTIONS AND PAY. NIGERIA ARMY HAS PROVEN THAT THEY ARE GENUINE NIGERIANS INTERESTED IN PROTECTING NIGERIANS AFTER MISRULING FOR DECADES. ONE SEES ANRMY OFFICERS RETIRING AND RUNNING FOR POLITICAL OFFICES NATIONWIDE. IT MEANS THEY BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY. THEY PROTECT ELECTION RINGING AND EVEN PROTECT POLICE BARRACKS. BUT ONE THING I MUST CAUTION THEM IS LISTING BOMB INGREDIENTS IN THE MEDIA. SSS IS GOOD IN LISTING EACH INGREDIENTS RECOVERED IT SHOULD STOP, BECAUSE COPY CATS CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE LISTED ITEMS.

Well done

Well done and pls do more. Those evil doers will never know peace. God pls punish them.... amen.

You spoke well brother. That

You spoke well brother. That is exactly my mind.

Why should they turn it over

Why should they turn it over to the police for further investigation ? The same Nigerian police who set Kabiru Sokoto free, what are they investigating in a house filled with weapons. Thanks to the Army for leveling the place. Let praise them when they do well, we musn't always criticise.

I still don't understand why

I still don't understand why the building was demolished too. I sincerely don't kno. The building itself was a specimen.

DEMOLITION AND ITS ORIGIN

"...The spokesman said that a 60-year old man, Umaru Mohammed,was arrested within the premises, and the house demolished.
He did not say why it was essential to demolish the building rather than turn it over to the police for further investigation."

THIS IS A COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT TACTICS THAT ORIGINATE FROM ISRAEL. TO DEMOLISH A HOUSE DOES NOT DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM RENTING HOUSES TO BOKO HARAM MEMBERS AS THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY OF IDENTIFYING THEM. IT LOOKS LIKE HOUSES OF THE WEAK ARE FAIR GAME BUT WHEN A "BOKO HARAM COMMANDER" WAS ARRESTED IN SENATOR MODU SHERIFF'S HOUSE, IT WAS NOT DEMOLISHED. VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE AND THE NIGERIAN GOVT TACTIC WILL NEVER END THIS CRISIS, IT WILL ONLY EXACERBATE IT.

i hope

I hope is not the house of an innocent poor Nigerian that is being raided as boko haram bomb factory, and I always question this method of demolishing houses, why not taKe your time and thoroughly check the house and may you find something more.

very funny

Such hideout was discovered with all these tools yet no Boko Haram member was caught. Instead of laying wait to the inhabitants and workers I n the building, our "glorious" jtf was quick to destroy the place when no one was there. Our country is really a funny place to live
