The Kano Police Command has intercepted a car loaded with bomb-making devices and sophisticated weapons in the state.

This is coming four days after a gas explosion wrecked havoc at the Sabon Gari area of the state.

Okay.ng learned that the latest development was obtained through the information provided by the public.

Following an exponential growth in insecurity in some North-Western states of the country, civilians in the state have been working hand-in-hand with security operatives to report any suspicious movement.
