Security forces detained a Ukrainian plane at Kano International Airport that was suspected of carrying military hardware. The impounded plane, which was said to be carrying military hardware to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was released 12 hours later. Three suspected Lebanese Hezbollah operatives arrested last month in connection to a large weapons cache in Kano are suing the Nigerian government, which has filed a counter-affidavit against them alleging they have links to terrorist organizations.
