According to Borno state Governor, Kashim Shettima, he said Boko Haram insurgents were now selling stolen cattle at the Gamboru cattle market in Maiduguri to fund their terror activities.

He also unveiled that the largely defeated terrorists were using unscrupulous middlemen to crudely sell the cattle they stole in the past and then use the proceeds to buy arms and food to prosecute the terror war.

Kashim Shettima, who was represented by the Secretary to the Borno State Government, Usman Jidda Shuwa at the inauguration of the new management committee responsible for scrutinizing sources of all cattle and delay slaughter of certified cattle for claims, said the insurgents resorted to the new order because they now lack capacity to attack and loot banks, towns and other traditional methods of sourcing funds for their murderous activities.

Our security agencies have reasonably established that most of the cattle being traded at the markets were the direct proceeds of cattle rustling perpetrated by Boko Haram insurgents which were sold at prohibitive costs to unsuspecting customers through some unscrupulous middlemen who use underhand ploy to deliberately disguise the transactions as legitimate.
The money realised from such transactions would then be channeled to fund the deadly activities of the insurgents. Consequently, the insurgents, through these nefarious transactions, felt they had discovered new sources of resuscitating their already battered and degraded infrastructure, with a view to recommencing their atrocities, which have since been irredeemably halted by the Military.

As a result of the situation, Shettima said, he was putting in place a committee made up of representatives of the military, the Nigerian Police Force, the Department of State Security, youth volunteers involved in counter insurgency operations popularly known as the Civilian JTF, Government officials and credible representatives of unions of traders and Butchers to takeover the markets so that activities in the market would resume due to public demands for meat but under a sanitized system.

Shettima announced a ban on importation of cattle into the State for the time being and also suspend the sale of dried meat.

The Governor said he would hold members of the committee responsible if trading of stolen cattle continues in any market.

Let me reiterate that considering the caliber of the members of this Committee, I have no doubt in my mind that you will discharge this responsibility within your utmost ability. Said Shettima
