The Kano State Police Command has discovered large quantities of empty cans of drinks in Kano.
The empty cans are suspected to be used by criminals in making Improvised Explosive Devises (IEDs).
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, disclosed this while displaying the materials in seven trucks on Friday.
He said that the items were discovered in an uncompleted building located on Tukur Road in Kano metropolis on Friday following tip-off.
``When we got the information about the cans, we mobilised our men to the area and evacuated them in seven trucks,” he said.
``The command will continue to mop up such items so that nobody can use them for any criminal intention. ”
Idris called on members of the public to always destroy such cans after use in order not to allow criminals to use them for other criminal purposes.
He said that the command had also commenced efforts to track down all those who were in the habit of selling fertiliser to those criminals.
The commissioner said the Joint Task Force (JTF) had on Thursday raided the hide-out of suspected Boko Haram members at Farawa area in Kano metropolis and arrested one suspect.
``Items recovered during the raid included nine cans of IEDs, SMG and several live ammunition, while the case is now under investigation. ”
