Operatives of Joint Military Taskforce, JTF Monday in Kano
conducted house-to-house search where they discovered and detonated
explosives planted in strategic locations within Kano metropolis.
Commandant
of 3rd Motorize Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Iliyasu
Abba told reporters in Kano that “ there are desperate attempts by
terrorists to instil fear on urban dwellers as most of the latest
discoveries were planted in residential areas. The situation compelled
us to embark on house to house search on suspected dark spots in the
metropolis.”
Brigadier Illiyasu Abba stated that “we have made some arrest and
investigation is on and I believe that there will certainly be more
discoveries”.
The commandant stated that the “terrorists plan
major attack to disrupt Christmas celebration in the city,
noting that
“we have initiated a number of measures to frustrate their plan”
The
Infantry officer appealed to residents to cooperate with JTF personnel
in the line of duty, maintaining that “it is through collective effort
that we can triumph against the evil forces”
“Our cordon and
search exercise is going to be a continuous exercise, we know it is
inconvenient but it is necessary under the present circumstances and we
urge residents to cooperate with our men in the collective interest of
all. We are on top of the situation and the residents have nothing to
fear and they should therefore go about their legitimate duties without
fear or molestation”
