 An underground food storage facility owned by Boko Haram sect has been discovered in Borno State.
The discovery was announced on Sunday by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Sani Usman. He said the storage ‘bunker' with large quantity of foodstuff was found during a search by troops in Biggoro, Warpaya and Aura, North of Kumshe in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
Usman explained that the troops also discovered that the terrorists were mounting sentries on tree tops to gather intelligence on the advancement of soldiers.
The statement reads: "On Saturday April 16 2016, troops of 7 Division Strike Group Team B and 22 Task Force Brigade conducted a simultaneous dawn raid on suspected Boko Haram terrorists hideouts at Biggoro, Warpaya and Aura, North of Kumshe in Bama Local Government Area.

"The essence of the operation was to stop the reported criminal activities of the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the three villages.

This became necessary as previous efforts were futile. The suspected terrorists kept coming in search for food, water and shelter.

"The surprised dawn attack yielded positive result as the troops discovered well concealed observation posts on trees in the villages constructed by the terrorists to give them early warning of troops movement or approach.

"In addition, the troops found out that the observation posts though tree tops, were constructed in such a manner with chairs and ropes to pull up foods and other needs by the sentry without necessarily coming down the trees.
