Efforts by Nigerian troops to stamp out terrorism in the country have recorded yet another breakthrough with the arrest of three bomb-making experts believed to be working for Boko Haram insurgents.
“The three bomb-making experts were arrested in Gombe,” a reliable source close to the Nigerian Defence Headquarters in Abuja told News Express minutes ago.
The military has yet to officially comment on the development but is expected to issue a statement on it shortly.
