The Defence Headquarters said it has raided a hideout of terrorists in
the Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano, Kano State and discovered a
bomb-making factory in the area.
Olukolade said that some bomb-making experts arrested by the security
agents were already undergoing investigation.
According to him, the security forces were expecting the latest arrests
to give some useful clues into the activities of the sect.
The Defence spokesman added that the military authorities had issued a
directive to all the troops involved in the counter-terrorism operation to
sustain the tempo of their operations by ensuring that the insurgents were
prevented from attacking civilian targets during the period.
“The troops deployed in all locations of the counter-terrorism campaign
have been directed to sustain the tempo of operations all through the period of
seasonal celebrations and ensure that the intention of terrorists to attack
civilian targets while avoiding troops is duly frustrated,” he added
