SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir police on Saturday claimed to have two recently recruited militants and four militant associates in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
A police spokesman in a statement said that Police in Anantnag have arrested two newly recruited militants and four militant associates, linked with proscribed outfit LeM/JeM.
“Acting on a specific information regarding the militant attack in Anantnag/ Bijbehara towns by Lashkar-e-Mustafa (Parent Organization JeM), Police along with 3RR established special checking points at multiple locations and conducted intensified checking,” said the spokesman.
“Meanwhile at one of the checkpoints established at Donipora Bijbehera, officers intercepted a vehicle Alto K-10 bearing registration No. HP12C 0981 with two persons on board. They were signalled to stop however, they tried to flee from the spot but the alert joint forces apprehended them tactfully,” he said.
Syll Owino would have made it 3-0 in the 67th minute when he connected with a delivery from a David Owino corner but his effort flew over the crossbar.
Since beating Vihiga United 1-0 in the opener, the subsequent results for Kakamega Homeboyz have been unconvincing as they drew against Posta Rangers and Nzoia Sugar and thereafter went on to lose to KCB, Ulinzi Stars, Tusker and Bandari.
Buoyed by the win, Nicholas Muyoti’s charges will face Wazito FC – who have recorded four consecutive wins – in the last game of the month on January 29. Next for Bidco United will be a home game against Posta Rangers on February 3.
“The way we have been training and playing, you could see there is a slight improvement and it is a matter of time before we start getting results. And when I talk of results, it means winning games.”
Initially, the club’s owner Cleophas Shimanyula stated they have had poor results primarily because some six players returned positive Covid-19 tests and were consequently ruled out of the opening games.
Wanga too stated they were affected by the absence of the infected players.
“Some of the key players were injured just as the season began but now we have almost all players available,” the Premier League-winning star added.
