The Nigerian Army 3rd Brigade troops deployed on Operation Salama in Jigawa State North-West Nigeria have intercepted and destroyed poisoned fish allegedly brought to the region by suspected Boko Haram terrorists from Baga in Borno State.



Addressing reporters after the destruction, the Brigade Spokesperson with Headquarters in Kano, Captain Eze Ikechikwu, said that 11 suspected were being interrogated.

Following the repeated attacks on Boko Haram fighters by troops attached to Operation Lafiya Dole in the Northeast, Boko Haram is said to have devised another means of attacking members of the public through a sort of traditional biological weapon.

According to the Army Spokesperson, 80 bags of assorted poisoned fish was apprehended in Hadeja Local Government Area of Jigawa State with intent to sell it to unsuspected members of the public in the North West region.

Captain Eze said that after all the necessary examination on the fish, the Army found it poisonous, hence would not be allowed to enter markets in the region, stressing that 80,000 naira and 11 mobile phones were also recovered from the suspects.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army is urging members of the public to remain vigilant on most of the frozen fish they purchase from their respective markets to avoid being victims of Boko Haram’s innovative biological weapons.

He urged them to report suspicious food items to the nearest security formations.

As long as the AU, EU, UN and other world governing bodies continue to affirm that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam in the name of diplomacy and political correctness, I doubt the world ll be free from all these Islamic clowns.

No worry....you think say na joke we dey...if they start poisoning food items it's going to be deadlier than bomb blasts....not lethal poisons but mild ones like Arsenic in little amounts that will slowly accumulate in your body and kill u and u won't even know you're being poisoned coz pple like you will say it's witchcraft.

In summary.....receive sense (you shouldn't joke about everything)
