The 7 Division of the Nigerian Army today destroyed over 2,000 cartons
of dried fish valued at N60 million seized from suspected Boko Haram
terrorists in Borno State. According to the spokesperson of the
Division, Colonel Tukur Gusau, the suspected Boko Haram members had
resorted to robbery and cattle rustling and are believed to also be
engaged in some form of commercial activities with these stolen items to
fund their activities.
“We have about 2,000 cartons of dried fish, suspected to have been taken
away forcefully from fishermen, fish mongers and business men in Borno
State. We decided to born them so that we can send a message to these
people. What they wanted to do was to sell the items in an open market
at a ridiculous amount of money and use the same proceed to sponsor
their terror activities,” he said
