JTF rescues 4 wives at bomb factories , arrests 7 Boko Haram suspects

THE Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano  arrested seven suspects believed to be members of Boko Haram at  bomb factories at separate  locations in Farawa and Seika areas in Kano.

However, the JTF, during the operations, rescued four women who were believed to be wives of the sect members.

The spokesman of the JTF, Captain Ikedichi Iwehia, who disclosed this to pressmen on Wednesday, said  six assorted wires for priming suicide vehicles, 32 Motorola handsets, one AK-47riffle and 52 Motorola  handset batteries were also uncovered at the bomb factories.

He also disclosed that  the operation also led to the discovery of 46 Explosive Improvised Devices (EIDs) at  the said bomb  factories.

The operation, which lasted for hours, did not record  any casualty, as there was no resistance by the Boko Haram members during the said operation.

The bomb factories were later demolished, with heavy security operatives on ground to monitor the demolition.

Captain Iwehia assured members of the public of safety of life and property, saying the security should be a collective responsibility of everybody.

He, however, commended people in the state for their collective efforts through useful information being given to the security operatives. Tribune
