avoid cattle water ponds in Kangallam Village along Marte and Abadam
axis in Borno State.
A statement by the Deputy Director Army Public Relations, Col. Tukur
Gusau, said "a large number of cattle died after drinking water from
the ponds", maintaining that 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".
Col. Tukur further noted that "information reaching the Theater
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.
"Credible information available to the Theater 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", he said.
He added that "the action of the terrorists is no doubt aimed at
taking their own pound of flesh on the innocent citizen 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 northeast".
