Among the items of destruction recovered from some men riding in a Golf 3 car on Tuesday were one rocket launcher, eight Ak-47 magazines, seven Turkey oil remote control bomb, two cylinders remote control devices, 14 hand grenades, four rolls of wire connector and 12 power sources.
The Commissioner, Kano State Police Command, Musa Daura, said of the recovery: “On Tuesday, 26 March, 2013, on about 2130 hours, based on a tip-off, our men intercepted a Golf 3 Motor Vehicle with Reg. No. AG 701 KTN at an outskirt village here in Kano.
“The occupants of the vehicle on sighting the Patrol Vehicle opened fire and immediately, our men responded with superior power, which made the occupants to abandon their vehicle and escape with bullet wounds.
“The intention of these hoodlums was to cause havoc and destabilize peace which will subsequently lead to economic and social sabotage in Kano State.
“However, my men sealed up the whole area with a view to identify and arrest the fleeing suspects. We are urging members of the public to continue supporting the Command and other security agencies in the state to restore the peace and tranquility we have been enjoying in the state for decades.
“We also have to contribute in whatever capacity to unmask the criminals in the state and reduce all sorts of crimes to the barest minimum.”
