Disturbing reports are coming from Kano State, as the Nigeria Custom Service informed about discovering and confiscation of military gears, delivered into the state in an unlawful way through Mallam Aminu Kano Airport.

According to PremiumTimes, Kano/Jigawa Command, represented by comptroller Umar Abbas, stated on September 16, 2014, Tuesday, that the illegal items included military camouflage uniforms and boots.

The official described the seizure as a very significant move, taking into account the general situation with security in Nigeria.

Kano state is the front-line for country’s fight against terrorism. About one month ago a suspected master trainer of Boko Haram female suicide bombers has been reportedly nabbed by the JTF in Dala Local Government Area of the state.

Dangerous equipment is being encountered and confiscated regularly. For instance, security operatives busted rocket launcher production facility in Dorayi District of Kumbotso LGA.

Kano policemen acted in a great way when they intercepted explosives-laden vehicle and, thereby, averted another bomb blast in the troubled city about three months ago.
