Nigeria security operatives have intercepted a Russian plane, heading to the neighbouring Chad Republic, carrying arms and ammunition at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano.
The crew members are said to have been taken into custody immediately after the plane was intercepted today.
According to a security operative who seeks anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said that the aircraft was headed for N’djamena, the capital of Chad. It landed in Kano at about 2a.m. Nigerian time.
