Kano: JTF Kills Boko Haram Suspect, Arrests Another
By SaharaReporters, New York
The confrontation, which followed Monday’s killing of three policemen by members of the sect, took place in the Yankaba area of Hadejia road in the outskirts of the city.
JTF spokesman, Captain Ikedichi Iwehia, said the operation took place in three different locations: Wandabai, Gwamajja and Yankaba area, and confirmed the fatality and arrest.
On Monday in the Hadejia, the three policemen, who were having tea in a tea shop, were shot dead by the terrorists.
A source told SaharaReporters that men of the JTF stormed the three areas and cordoned them off. Their action followed the receipt of information that a man who had just arrived from Maiduguri and was believed to be one of those who killed the policemen, was residing in the area.
It was in the process of a-house-to-house search by the security operatives that the deadly gun duel with the militants broke out, the source said.
