Col. Victor Ebhaleme, the Field Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) on Operation Restore Order (ORO), told newsmen in Maiduguri that the incident happened at about 10.30 a.m.
He said residents of the area were attracted by the big sound in a residential area at Kaleri and they alerted the JTF.
“On arrival, our men discovered mutilated bodies of three persons, suspected to be Boko Haram militants. Apparently, they died while preparing the bombs.”
Ebhaleme added that several unexploded Improvised Explosive Device (IED) were also found in the house, which was completely destroyed by the blast.
“Several bomb making apparatus were also found in the house,’’ he said.
