BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA -The Nigerian Army Theatre Command Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-east on Thursday said the ban on transportation of fish in commercial quantity along the Maiduguri – Monguno – Baga route remains in force.
It therefore warned that any d defaulters will be arrested and sanctioned. Only subsistence fishing for inhabitants’ consumption is permitted.
A statement by the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu of the Theatre Command said the military observed that following the reopening of the route, the illicit act of fish smuggling has been on the increase.
Nwachukwu further said; “Unfortunately most of the fish or its proceeds end up in the hands of Boko Haram insurgents, thus providing logistics replenishment for the insurgents.”
