Photos: Army Uncovers ISWAP Bread Factory In Borno
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorist bread production factory has been uncovered by troops of the Nigerian Army.
Nation Post understands that the latest discovery was made by operatives of Operation Lake Sanity III, operating under Operation Hadin Kai, in Maisani, Timbuktu Triangle, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
Intelligence sources, as cited by popular security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, revealed that the discovery was made by the Combined troops of 199 Special Forces Battalion, alongside Hybrid Forces and Civilian JTF, during an exploitation mission into the terrorists’ hideout on Sunday.
“The sources said that the factory was destroyed while items recovered include 2 Lister generating plants, 1 baking machine, and several baking materials,” Makama reported.
The report indicates that the finding occurred during a seven-day clearance mission designed to eliminate the terrorists from their base in the Timbuktu Triangle, which includes Buk 1, 2, and 3, Talala, Ajigin, Dusula, Abulam, and Gorgi – an area well-known for sheltering these radical organizations.
“These groups of terrorists are mostly responsible for attacks, ambushes, and IED/mine incidents targeting the Damboa roads, Damaturu-Maiduguri MSR (Main Supply Route), attacks towards Askira, Buratai, Buni Yadi, as well as the destruction of the high-tension transmission line connecting Borno and Yobe State.

“Despite the complexity of the terrain characterized by highly fortified camp mostly located under thick foliage and IEDs planted in several locations within the Timbuktu Triangle, the troops continued to maintain high fighting efficiency,” Makama stated.
