The Borno Government today
banned the sale of dried meat in
order to curtail the activities of
Boko Haram terrorists currently
engaged in cattle rusting to fund
their operations.

Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno
announced the ban at the
inauguration of a high powered
Committee for the Management of
the Maiduguri Cattle Market in
Maiduguri.

Shettima, represented by the
Secretary to the State Government,
Alhaji Jidda Shuwa, said
government had also suspended
importation of cattle to the state
capital for the next two weeks. He
also noted that ONLY the Butchers
Association and Cattle Traders
Association were permitted to
slaughter and sell cattle in the
market. Boko Haram will definitely
end someday.
