He said, “You will recall that we had raised alarm that there are some agents of Boko Haram who are aiding activities of Boko Haram, especially at the Maiduguri cattle market known as ” Kasuwar Shanu”.
“They normally transport cows from Boko Haram and sell them for the insurgents. The bad elements will then transport the proceeds to Boko Haram in their hideouts.”
Abdullahi said that the command was working with other security agencies to curtail all Boko Haram activities, their sympathisers and collaborators in the country.
