It seems the drama surrounding the Illegal arms excavated from Kano state is yielding dividends as yesterday security officials who carried out a semi-excavation work on Amigo Supermarket in Abuja have unearthed ‘boxes’ whose content have not been disclosed.
It is believed that the boxes have been taken to the head office of the Department of State Security Service (SSS), in Abuja, an official of the agency, involved in the excavation.
Sources said the security officials were excavating some parts of Amigo, one of Abuja’s busiest supermarkets, and Wonderland Amusement Park, Abuja’s largest amusement park, in search of likely weapons.
The SSS had sealed off the supermarket and the amusement park on Friday evening after the businesses’ co-owner was declared wanted for allegedly being part of a Hezbollah Lebanese terrorist cell in the country.
Earlier on Thursday, the Joint Task Force in Kano said it uncovered a bunker beneath a house in Kano where a cache of weapons, including anti-tank weapons was stored.
The JTF said it arrested three suspects who mentioned the supermarket’s owner as part of them.
