Residents say they woke up to sounds of explosion and sporadic gunshots around the Sharada Police station and Sabo Gwandu parts of the city from 4 a.m. to past 6 p.m.
"We heard the explosion throughout the night, and it lasted till after the early morning prayer," a resident of the city told us. "We were unable to sleep and we can't venture out yet."
The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Idris, confirmed the incident
He said it was the Joint Task Force, an inter-agency security outfit overseeing security in the state, that took the battle to the den of the terrorist following security reports they were hiding in the area and plotting an attack on the Sharada Police Station
