The 7 Division Nigerian Army has impounded several cartons of dried fish and rustled beef belonging to suspected Boko Haram terrorists. The items were seized in various locations in Borno State, Deputy Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Tukur Gusau, announced late yesterday in a statement.

“The cartons of the dried fish are believed to be seized from innocent fishermen, business men and nomads by the terrorists who later sell them at ridiculous amounts to finance their terrorist's activities. The items apprehended will be destroyed accordingly,” Col. Gusau said.

He appealed to the public “to please continue to support Operation LAFIYA DOLE by promptly reporting any suspicious movement of persons or vehicle loaded with supplies meant for Boko Haram Terrorists enclaves in their area to the nearest security agencies.”

Col. Gusau assured that “the Nigerian Army in its collaborative efforts with the Nigerian Air force and other security agencies will continue to pursue and destroy all terrorists’ logistics chains and supply routes until peace and security is restored in the North East.
