JTF Uncover Armoury in Kano In A Lebanese Warehouse.

**four Lebanese men arrested in the house.
**200 rocket-propel launcher, 40 air-to-surface missiles, 200 military hand grenades and more were recovered.

Special forces drafted from the Nigerian Military, yesterday night, raided a residential building-cum-warehouse packed with sophisticated military hardware at Bompai, a highbrow area located within the precinct of police and immigration headquarters in the troubled northern commercial city.


The warehouse belonged to an alien from the Middle East and located in Gaya Road, Bompai GRA and within a striking distance to the Police state headquarters and the headquarters of the Nigerian Immigration Service.

The areas where the security were beefed up are those presence are identified flash point such as Kurna Asabe, where two Igbo businessmen were reportedly killed last Friday by Boko haram gunmen. Hotoro –Maimariri , Yankaba and Badawa all suspected hide houses of gunmen.

Security sources close to the military told Vanguard, on condition of anonymity, in Kano that the highly coordinated military operation was carried out following a tip-off by a suspect under investigation.

The elite troops were said to have stormed the residence, picked up the occupants and in the ensuing search on the suspected bungalow, large cache of arms and ammunition were discovered in the sitting room and some wardrobe in the house.

The military source revealed that, “large quantities of the military hardware were buried in the house, while some were neatly concealed. It took a trained officer in counter-terrorism to discover the hidden mass weapon of war.”

Recovered
1] 40 air-to-surface missiles,
2] 50 cluster bombs,
3] 200 rocket-propel launcher,
4] 8 AK-47 rifles,
5] 200 military hand grenades,
6] uncountable number of live ammunition
7] certain military hardwares deployed to destroy Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC).

The weapons of war were evacuated to the headquarters of the 3rd Motorised Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Kano, alongside four other arrested nationals of the same Middle East extraction, in connection with the shocking discovery.

The source stated that preliminary investigation revealed that “three countries have been indicted and the military high command is working to ascertain the culpability.”

Eyewitness account:
However, a civilian eyewitness, who lives in the neighbourhood, said he counted over “300 AK-47 riffles and I saw soldiers packing ammunition using shovels into some large containers from the house.”

The account gave the name of the suspect as one Ta’al, who appeared to be in his late 50s, stressing that “Ta’al had been staying in the house for the past five years alone without his family, and lived a secluded life as he hardly associate himself with people in the neighbourhood.

“The suspect hardly received visitors and drives a white Toyota Hilux, and doesn’t keep late night.”
