Police in Kano, North West Nigeria, have arrested several suspects linked to a potential terrorist group following critical intelligence reports.

Among those apprehended are three associates of Hamman Adam Abba, a Chadian national accused of orchestrating the brutal killings of 17 people in Chad. Authorities believe his network posed a significant security threat in the region.

The arrests mark a major breakthrough in counterterrorism efforts, as security forces intensify operations to prevent extremist activities across Nigeria.

Officials have assured the public of ongoing investigations to dismantle any remaining threats linked to the group.
