Sporadic gunshots continued yesterday evening in Sheka area of Kano metropolis between security operatives and members of the Boko Haram sect, making residents of the area run for safety.

The gunshots, according to an eyewitness, were heard around the area where some vehicles were abandoned but later discovered by the police to be loaded with heavy explosives inside them. The police were able to recover the vehicles during a stop-and-search they carried out in the area.



Members of the sect went on a rampage in their bid to recover the abandoned vehicle. They shot indiscriminately to scare everybody around the area away. They later brought out a vehicle and set it ablaze.

Our source said, "The security and the sect members later engaged in exchange of gunfire as residents scampered for safety", The area was turned into a war zone as exchange of fire between the sect members and the security operatives lasted more than two hours before it ceased."

The state government had earlier imposed a 24-hour curfew but relaxed it to between 7pm and 6am in order to enable people work and take care of their families. But, residents of the area had to rush to their respective residences and lock up themselves to ward off possible danger before the time out.

In the same vein, banks remained closed yesterday, following the apparent withdrawal of police officers who used to give them adequate protection.

Some banks, however, took the risk to open and give skeletal services but closed immediately before noon.

Some members of the public who went to seek the bank's services returned home disappointed as they could not have access to their funds.

However, customers with ATM cards had a little respite as they were able to withdraw some cash.

Dont be deceived please. The bolded is a BIG LIE

This is all cock and bull story. A friend of mine lives close to sheka in Kano and he told me there was no any police or army when these guys came. They bombed the police station, set police cars ablaze without any single resistance from the police. Infact there was no any police on sight. Go to Kano now even banks are not working because no police is willing to protect the banks. They cant even protect themselves

It is because, Boko Harams are very good trained fighters on a clear mission, while Nigeria Nigeria Soldiers are bunch of Thieves on arms.
Boko Haram want an Islamic Republic of Arewa, i am 10000000% of that, why is Nigeria government disturbing them, Those bunch of armed Robbers call Soldiers should withdraw from there and allow these people to have their Islamic Nation in peace.

Like I said, the final battle will be fought in Kano. Then, I know if the Core North has finally gone to the dogs.

@Iceblock, they got the liver from the middle east. It can only be an arabic liver.
