The Nigerian Army on Wednesday
said Boko Haram terrorists have resorted to poisoning water sources like wells
and streams in areas they were dislodged by gallant troops or areas threatened
by offensive operations.
Colonel Tukur Gusau, Deputy
Director Army Public Relations, in a statement said the latest was 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. No human life was lost.
The spokesman said the act of
the Boko Haram sect was 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 route them out completely from their enclaves and hideouts all
over the North East.
The Army advised residents in
the area to be careful and avoid as much as possible drinking water from unverified
sources, especially in locations that troops routed out Boko Haram terrorists.
