An aircraft carrying arms and ammunition has been detained at the Malam Aminu Kano international airport, Kano.
The arms-laden plane landed in Kano in the early hours of Saturday and was said to be heading for Chad, which had been heavily suspected of being the staying power of Boko Haram.
The aircraft had two helicopters, military hardware and AK47 rifles on board.
Security sources said the crew did not make full disclosure of the cargo.

Why is nigeria not creating another bh to also start fighting in chad to extend their caliphate the other side? when mr derby’s hand becomes full, as his seat is not secure, he’ll learn to behave. if nigeria does that, their territory will be less insecure. francaphone countries have no monopoly of violence.
The beauty of the unfortunate country called Nigeria is that you never hear about this arms again. So pathetic for a country i’m not proud of.
