JTF kills 14 Boko Haram terrorists in Kano


Operatives of the  Joint Task Force on Sunday averted another  major attack  by  terrorists  in Kano by raiding  their  hideouts  at  Unguwa Uku area of the ancient city.

The operatives, acting on a tip off,  were said to have raced to the area around 4am  and intercepted a Volkswagen Golf, primed with explosives, which  some terrorists had wanted to use and wreck havoc during the Easter celebration in the city.

Residents of the area  said  the soldiers thereafter  invaded a compound housing the suspected terrorists but were greeted with  explosions.They added that the operatives who were not deterred exchanged gunfire with the terrorists for about four hours.

The spokesperson of JTF in Kano, Ikedi Iweha, was quoted as saying that the task force killed 14 Boko Haram suspects in the raid.
