Military uncovers ammunition warehouse, arrests 4 foreigners

MILITARY personnel in Kano  have arrested four foreigners from the Middle East over large cache of arms and ammunition uncovered in their mini-warehouse located in Bompai area of the Kano State capital.
This is just as the leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, denied that his men were killed by soldiers, noting that instead, his people killed many of the security operatives.

However, the owner of the complex where the dangerous weapons were seized, simply identified as a Lebanese nationals, is also a guest of the military over the discovery.
As of the time of filing this report, the building on Gaya Road in Bompai was under heavy guard of  military personnel.
The spokesman for the Military Joint Task Force and 3rd Brigade of Nigerian Army, Captain Ikedichi Iweha, however, stated that the Brigade would brief pressmen on the issue today, even as he declined comments on the incident which occurred on Tuesday night.
