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, some cattle were killed after drinking water from some poisoned sources.
In a statement signed by Col. Tukur Gusau, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, “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 root them out completely from their enclaves and hide-outs all over the North East”.
The army then urged citizens in the affected areas “to avoid as much as possible drinking water from unverified sources.
