Operatives of the Joint Task Force on Sunday averted another major attack by terrorists in Kano by raiding their hideouts at Unguwa Uku area of the ancient city.
The operatives, acting on a tip off, were said to have raced to the area around 4am and intercepted a Volkswagen Golf, primed with explosives, which some terrorists had wanted to use and wreck havoc during the Easter celebration in the city.
Residents of the area said the soldiers thereafter invaded a compound housing the suspected terrorists but were greeted with explosions.They added that the operatives who were not deterred exchanged gunfire with the terrorists for about four hours.
The spokesperson of JTF in Kano, Ikedi Iweha, was quoted as saying that the task force killed 14 Boko Haram suspects in the raid.
