"Five suspected Islamic militants were arrested in the raid that saw the military seize more than a dozen improvised explosive devices, bomb-making materials, Kalashnikov rifles and machine guns in the building in the Gaida Ajawa district of the city," Ikedichi Iweha, a spokesman for the Joint military Task Force in Kano, said in a statement on Friday.
Kano is increasingly troubled by the Boko Haram sect who are fighting for the Islamisation of Northern Nigeria and avenging the 2009 extra judicial execution of its leader, Mohammed Yusuf.
Last week 25 people were killed and 65 wounded after suspected members of the sect detonated bombs at a busy bus station in Kano's Sabon Gari area.
