Yesterday in Kano, four foreign nationals, suspected to
have hailed from Middle East, were arrested by the Joint Task
Force over a large cache of arms and ammunition uncovered in their
mini-warehouse located on Gaya road in the Bompai area of Kano.
The owner of
the complex, where the dangerous weapons were impounded has been
identified as a Lebanese national. He was arrested by military personnel.
Security sources disclosed that items
recovered from the extensive operation included 40 air-to-surface
missiles, 50 cluster bombs, 200 rocket-propel launchers, eight AK-47
rifles, 200 military hand grenades and some military hardware capable of
destroying Armoured Personnel Carriers.
A resident of the area, said he counted over “300 AK-47 riffles” during the evacuation.
Culled from Punch.
