Security agents have detained an Ukrainian cargo plane at the
Kano International Airport for carrying suspected military hardware.
The plane was then thoroughly searched by security agents who
reportedly arrived at the airport prior to the arrival of the cargo.
The content was not disclosed, but sources said the plane might have been loaded with arms and ammunitions.
As at the time of filing this report, the area where the plane is
parked has been cordoned by the Nigerian Army and airport security.
We gathered that investigation is ongoing on the owners and the destination of the cargo.
Aviation Ministry and its agencies are yet to make any comment on the development.
This is coming few weeks after weapons believed to belong to
Hezbollah was uncovered in a building belonging to a Lebanese business
man in Kano.
