Joint military Task Force (JTF) has arrested a man in Kano believed to be a top militant leader.
The JTF arrested the militant during an operation carried out in the early morning of Tuesday, according to a source who pleaded anonymity.
"We have carried out an operation and successfully arrested one of the top militants that we have been tracking for some time," said the official.
The man was arrested around the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) by Darmanawa quarters.
The source further added that the man, whom he declined to give his name, was arrested following a tip off.
JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Ikedichi Iweha, who confirmed the arrest, also refused to disclose the identity of the suspect.
“I can confirm to you that we carried out a very successful operation today and the suspect we have been looking for was apprehended without resistance. But honestly I cannot disclose his identity at this point of the investigation, but it was a successful operation,” Lieutenant Iweha said.
It would be recalled that last Friday gunmen riding on three motorcycles attacked a JTF check point in Karkasara quarters close to AKTH injuring one police corporal on the foot.
