Another Fresh Arms Uncovered Inside Hezbollah "Bunker" in Kano
Security
operatives in Kano have excavated another Hezbollah-linked cache of
arms and ammunition in the same location as last week’s find.
Military
spokesman Captain Ikedichi Iweha said the new cache involves a bunker
beneath the master bedroom. Three Lebanese nationals have been arrested.
The
new discovery was made yesterday at the 3 Gaya Road, Bompai address
where, last week, a large quantity of arms and ammunition was found in a
warehouse, and four foreigners were arrested.
The
owner of the warehouse, a Lebanese national, reportedly was being
interrogated following the discovery. Today, however, it was understood
that the property belongs to one Abdul Hassan Taher Fadlalla, a Lebanese
national, but that he is currently out of the country.
In
a statement made available to reporters, Iweha of the Third Brigade of
the Nigerian Army said that further
search of the bungalow led to the
astonishing discovery of dangerous weapons buried under a wardrobe.
“After
painstaking search of the whole premises, the search team uncovered an
underground bunker in the master bed room where a large quantity of
assorted weapons of different types and caliber and ammunition which
were properly wrapped was recovered.
“On
further search of the property, a cooler was recovered buried under the
wardrobe which had in it, 80 indicators, 5 PPK pistols, 334 rds of
7.62mm special, 9 magazines, 4 pistol silencers, 18 36 hand grenades
caps, 4 explosive fuses and 2 explosive devices.”
He
recalled that on 28 May 2013, a combined team of the DSS and 3 Brigade
Nigerian Army conducted a thorough search of a house at No 3 Gaya Road
off Bompai Road Kano.
