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
