ML Reveal: Nigeria’s SSS has detained a man accused of supplying potent bomb making chemicals to Boko Haram.

The middle-aged man identified as Mallam Ayuba Usman, is believed to be linked to the Boko Haram, according to the Kano State SSS Director, Mr. Bassey Etteng.

THEWILL can however report that his arrest is courtesy of an extensive and thorough investigative work by operatives in Kano State.

Etteng told THEWILL on Wednesday that the explosive materials, which Usman was licensed to sell, are highly regulated hence should not have been made available to individuals.

The SSS carted away several bags and boxes containing highly combustive materials.

THEWILL gathered that Usman's store in Kano has been seized and sealed off by the SSS, while some high profile suspects linked to purchases in the shop are being trailed.
