Boko Haram self-styled leader, Abubakar Shekau
Kano state Police Command said on Sunday that its men have arrested
five suspected Boko Haram terrorists at Gayawa quarters at Ungogo local government area of Kano state.
The State Police Commissioner Rabiu Yusuf told journalists, as the terrorists were paraded, that they were arrested following intelligence report that they were training at their hideout pursuant to a plan to carry out a deadly attack on Kano.
Mr. Yusuf said a dismissed Air-force officer was among the terrorists and he was the one training the others at the hideout. Unfortunately he escaped during a gunfire that had ensued after the insurgents open fire on sighting the police. But not without bullets wounds.
The suspects paraded are Abba Muhammad of Niger republic, (20), Usman A. Buhari (23) who hail from Borno state, Illiasu Abdullahi (46) of Gezawa local government area of Kano state. The two females are Aisah Yau (25) and Ladidi Yunusa (27) both of Kwarna hudu quarters in Nassarawa local government area of Kano state.
Three of the suspects are males while two of them are females, who as usual, are heavily pregnant.
