Press statement from the Nigerian Army
Information reaching the Theatre Command, Operation Lafiya Dole
indicates that Boko Haram terrorists have now resorted to poisoning
water sources like wells and streams in areas they were dislodged by
gallant troops or areas threatened by offensive operations.
The latest being the poisoning of the cattle water ponds in Kangallam
village along Marte and Abadam axis in Borno State where a large number
of cattle died after drinking water from the ponds.
Credible information available to the Theatre Command
indicates that though no human life was lost as a result of the
barbaric act of the terrorists, however, some cattle were killed after
drinking water from some poisoned sources.
The action of the terrorists is no doubt aimed at taking their own pound
of flesh on the innocent citizens and livestock as a result of the
unbearable offensive operations through the combined effort of the
Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force to route them out completely
from their enclaves and hide-outs all over the North East.
In view of this development citizens are called upon to avoid as much as
possible drinking water from unverified sources especially in locations
that troops routed out Boko Haram terrorists.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public
through your medium.
Thank you for your usual cooperation.
Colonel TUKUR GUSAU
Deputy Director Army Public Relations
