“The chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram terrorist’s, was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
“His death is coming after their Chief Scientist, called Abu RPG (was killed long ago) in a military assault.
“The chief bomb maker was killed by one of the body guard of the Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about to run away just like several others are doing because of the intensity of ‘Operation Crackdown’.
