Boko Haram insurgents have added a new weapon to their arsenal. They have resorted to lacing water sources in areas where they have been routed with deadly poison.
Disclosing the latest war strategy of the insurgents to newsmen on Wednesday, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Tukur Gusau said,
“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 from by troops or areas threatened by offensive operations.
“Credible information available to the Theatre Command indicates that though no human life has been lost as a result of the barbaric act of the terrorists, some cattle were killed after drinking water from some poisoned sources.
“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.”
He advised the people to avoid drinking water from locations where the terrorists have recently been forced out.
