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 by gallant troops or areas threatened by offensive operations.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, however, some cattle were killed after drinking water from some poisoned sources.
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 route them out completely from their enclaves and hide-outs all over the North East.
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.

Dear god
If this is true, then Nigeria is faced with enemies that are external to the Nation and one that is of the vilest character. This poisoning of water is a most grievous act and one the Nigerian rulers should sit up and consider with utmost care. It is an action of attempted mass murder equal in scale to the conception of Nuclear devices; it is that serious and should be brought to the attention of the world community not hidden or berried away in this corner of the internet. Make no mistake, those that conceived of this act would if the could poison the entire 180 million population of Nigeria. They are that deprived.
