The Joint Task Force on Friday said it killed six gunmen but lost a soldier during a raid of a hideout at Sheka in Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano State.<\/p>\n

JTF spokesman Capt Ikedichi Iweha told newsmen in Kano that the incident occurred in an early morning raid on Friday.<\/p>\n

He said the operation followed the arrest of a suspected gunman at Mariri in Kano on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect who revealed the hideout, had earlier planned to attack the popular Kantin Kwari Textile Market, Kano.<\/p>\n

Two AK-47 rifles were recovered, while five women and three children were evacuated from the house during the three-hour operation, he said.<\/p>\n

He called on residents to continue to cooperate with security agencies for peace to be restored in the state.<\/p>\n
