The Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano said it has scuttled plans by “terrorist elements” to carry out fresh attacks in the state during a “pre-emptive” operation yesterday morning.
 

Muslim faithful are preparing for the Ed-el-fitr billed for this Saturday to mark the end of this year’s Ramadan fast.

Addressing newsmen yesterday at the headquarters of the 3 Brigade Nigerian Army in Kano, the JTF, through the state Director of State Security Service (SSS), Mr Bassey Eteng, disclosed that it had recovered large quantities of arms and ammunition as well as explosive devices that were to be used in the said plan.

JTF also said it arrested three persons in connection with the foiled attack.

According to the task force, the weapons were uncovered during a raid around 6:00am on a suspected hideout of the “terrorist elements” inside a bush in Tudun Bayero in Gadan Tamburawa suburb of Kano.

The hideout, which is located about 10 kilometres from Kano city off Zaria road, was initially used as a poultry house, said JTF.

Eteng said the raid was based on security information.

He stated, “From intelligence available, the materials and ordinances were to be used on innocent persons during the forthcoming Sallah celebration,” adding that the place was also used for production of propaganda materials by the group.

While urging members of the public to be more vigilant and to always avail security agencies with information that can help in restoring peace to the state, the director said investigations are still continuing with a view to apprehending more suspects. “We hope to make the state as peaceful as possible, so that people can go about their normal businesses,” he said.

Items recovered in the raid, according to JTF include: 36 IEDs of various calibres, five guns, four smoke guns, 739 rounds of various calibres of ammunition, 2.5 litres of nitric acid and seven bags of ammonia fertilizer.

Also recovered were three face masks, military uniforms, banners with Arabic inscriptions, 90 packs of bangers, 55 medical syringes and hand gloves, among others.

Also, the SSS director confirmed the arrest of the owner of Al-Amir restaurants chain, Alhaji Muktari over suspected links with the Boko Haram sect.

Eteng however disclosed that the suspect had been released by the JTF after being questioned.

“He was released the very day he was arrested after he was interrogated,” he said.

It would be recalled that the owner of the popular restaurant which has outfits across the country was picked on Thursday evening by men of the JTF at his residence in ‘Yan Majalisa Estate in Gwammaja quarters.

Sunday Trust could not reach him for comment.

PoliticsFraudsters Have Cloned My Phone Number - Fashola by blackwall(op): 9:20am On Aug 11, 2012
Fashola, yesterday raised alarm that his phone number has been hacked by some fraudsters to extort money from members of the state cabinet and permanent secretary. He said the fraudsters had opened an account in Skye Bank and used his phone number to send text messages to members of his cabinet to pay some specified amount of money into it. “I must use this opportunity to appeal to all citizens and all of those who have received text messages purportedly being sent in my name. Apparently my phone has been cloned by some internet fraudsters, they sent messages round to my commissioners and permanent secretaries asking them to come and pay money into one Skye Bank account. “Please ignore those messages, they are not from us.

It apparently shows the desperation to make money by all means.

These are the small crimes, those are the corrupt tendencies that we must all as a nation put to bed.

They are the ones that lead to the bigger crimes. If we focus our attention on the bigger crimes, we will lose the larger picture.

All of these speak to the need for increasing compliance with law and order in every state, every local government, every ward, every home.

All of us must rise up and reclaim our country back from this lawlessness.”

Fashola bemoaned the development, adding that making money through cheap means could halt the nation’s value system .

EducationBUK Students Threaten To Shut-Down Kano Over Bursary by blackwall(op): 8:54am On Aug 11, 2012
Bayero University students held a peaceful protest in Kano on Friday to demand the payment of their three years bursary from the state government.

The students took over some major streets in the metropolis as early as 9 am, carrying placards to express their displeasure over the unpaid bursary.

They threatened to scuttle the peace in Kano during the upcoming Eid-el-Fitri if the Rabiu Kwankwaso-led government failed to offset backlog of scholarship allowance due them.

Meanwhile, the state government dismissed their threat, saying that it had already voted about N400m to settle the unpaid bursary.

Speaking through the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mallam Halilu Dantiye, Kwankwaso assured them that the 60th executive council meeting had last Wednesday approved the total sum of N39.8m for the payment of the scholarship allowances through the Ministry of Higher Education.

However, he appealed to the students to refrain from any act that could disrupt the peace in the state.

He said, “We expect the students to imbibe the culture of peace in conflict resolution.”

Nairaland GeneralRe: Nigerian Police And Nigerian Army Are Becoming Useless by blackwall(m): 3:05pm On Mar 26, 2012
Engineer96: Hello NLs,
I think that The Nigerian Police and Nigerian army are becoming increasingly useless.
I was on my way to Enugu and on getting to Awka, I saw a soldier on uniform sleeping, just after Aroma junction. Though, there was a sign of military check point there but they were somewhere sleeping.
On getting to Enugu, just in front of Holy Ghost Catheral, I saw a team of soldiers and police arresting okada riders indiscriminately.
And so I started to wonder, what are these people really paid for? To sleep on duty? To arrest okada men, who are legitimately looking for their daily bread?
Again, in the north, where they are needed, they have failed woefully. They are attacked and killed, even in their stations.
Do these people still worth their pay with taxpayers' money including mine?
What are they doing in the south and what have they achieved in the north?
Your contributions.
