The Joint Security Task Force (JTF) said that it
discovered a high calibre bomb factory at
Gunduwawa village in Gezawa Local
Government Area of the state. The factory is
believed to belong to the extremist Boko
Haram sect.
The Commander, 3 Brigade of the Nigeria
Army, Kano, Brig.-Gen. Iliyasu Abba, made
the disclosure when he briefed newsmen in
Kano on Wednesday.
Mr. Abba said the discovery was made on
Tuesday around 2 a.m., during an operation
by a combined team of the JTF troops and
the Department of State Services (DSS)
operatives.
“At about 2 am on Oct. 8, a combined team
of the JTF troops and Department of State
Services raided two Boko Haram terrorists’
hideouts at Gunduwawa village in Gezawa
Local Government Area.
“The raid, which was conducted following a
lead on intelligence reports, made no arrests
as the terrorists fled the village on the
approach of the JTF troops and DSS
personnel,’’ he said.
He, however, said one person who was
believed to be the son of the owner of the
house was killed during the operation.
According to him, the deceased is said to
have rented the house to the fleeing
terrorists.
He said the team was also able to recover
weapons, working tools and materials used
for making improvised explosive devices
(EIDs).
He added that they recovered one assault
rifle, two AK58 rifle magazines with 193
rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, and one AK
47 rifle magazine with 107 rounds of
7.62mm (Special) ammunition and bows
and arrows.
Others are: three primed cylinders of IEDs,
one primed explosive suicide back pack, 18
empty IED cylinders, 24 detonators, and
small bag of fertiliser and IED timers.
The rest are: cortex wires and three remote
control devices, five Motorola hand held
radios, four communicators, six alarm
clocks, two cartons of 9-volt batteries, a
scale, one external hard drive and one heavy
duty charger/battery.
“These weapons, ammunitions and other
dangerous materials were meant to wreak
havoc on Kano during the Eid-el-Kabir and
other festivities before the end of the year.’’
He urged members of the public to continue
to cooperate with the JTF operatives in its
effort to curb the activities of terrorists in
the state.
