LOKOJA – IT was a major breakthrough for security agencies in Kogi State when a combined team of the Army, Navy and men of the Department of State Security, DSS, otherwise known as SSS, yesterday, uncovered another bomb manufacturing factory at Igarra, a central area of Kogi State.

The state Director of DSS, Mike Fabara, who briefed newsmen in his office in Lokoja, said the joint security forces made the discovery at a bush between a border town of Kogi and Edo states in the early hours of yesterday.

He said some arrests had been made in connection with the incident but failed to give their either identities or number.
He said: “I can confirm to you that some terrorist groups have invaded the state which has accounted for why the Federal Government decided to send a special squad of the best hands to tackle them headlong.”

Items recovered and paraded before newsmen included, 22 Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs; 10 AK-47 rifles; one Berreta pistol; 57 AK-47 magazines with live ammunitions; 14 locally-made hand grenades and a Nissan jeep.”
