Troops on Operation LAFIYA DOLE deployed
in the outskirts of Maiduguri following a tip
off from the Civilian JTF in the area have
recovered a large cache of ammunition at a
residential area of Bulabulin Ngarnam, Borno
State, this morning September 17th. The
recovered ammunition include 3 sealed boxes
of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition, 3 jerry cans
containing various calibres of ammunition, 2
sacks containing 5,998 rounds of 7.62mm

The Army calls on all to be more security
conscious and report any suspicious person
or group of persons as we believe there could
be more of such arms and ammunitions
hidden or dumped by the Boko Haram
terrorists in other parts especially in the
north east.
