The Nigerian Defense Headquarters said today that security officials had found and seized weapons stashed away by terrorists in a burnt church.

The military said the arrest of a terrorist who claims to be a Cameroonian and an arms courier for the unidentified terrorist group has led to the discovery of a large cache of arms and ammunition hidden in the premises of a burnt church in Kalabalge local government area of Borno State. 

A statement released in Abuja by the DHQ spokesperson, Major General Chris Olukolade, said that the recovered weapons include anti-aircraft guns, rocket-propelled guns as well as other brands of machine guns. The weapons were reportedly found buried in the premises of one of the churches earlier burnt by terrorists. Also recovered from the location were thousands of various rounds of ammunition and links.
