::::Unknown gunmen killed a banker on

The late banker identified as Yakubu Abdullahi

Eyewitness reports say two teenagers walked

opened fire on the banker.
The spokesman for the Borno state police
command, Gideon Jibrin, confirmed the incident,
saying investigations into the killing had begun.
Meanwhile the joint task force (JTF) in Maiduguri
recovered a cache of arms and ammunition in
an undisclosed location in the metropolis,
following intelligence reports.
The recovered items include four Kalashnikov
rifles, a general purpose machine gun, nine
rapid propelled guns, 11 chargers, three AK 47

people to continue to accord security forces the
needed cooperation, and report suspected
hideouts of terrorists to the JTF.
