Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole,  Theater Command, Maimalari Cantonment Maiduguri Tuesday intercepted four vehicles carrying logistics into the bushes for  Boko Haram insurgents.

The four drivers carrying logistics supplies from were also suspected to be Boko Haram members in its  renewed strategic campaign to arrest and prosecute logistics suppliers of Boko Haram insurgents.

The Theater Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Major  General Olusegun Adeniyi, stated during the destruction of four vehicles and goods intercepted from the insurgents in Maiduguri.

Adeniyi said the military had earlier banned sales of petrol, foods and other goods to the Boko Haram insurgents, particularly, to deny them access to logistics and monies to fund their activities.

He said: “Soldiers intercepted goods and food as logistics loaded for boko haram insurgents to supply in the  bushes. I urge the  logisticians of boko haram insurgents to desist and the military will not be tired.

” We will do everything possible to strangulate them. I warn that nobody will be spared. Anybody arrested will be dealt with and prosecuted. They fuel boko haram movement in the bush and towns.

“People were cautioned to be careful. I’m appealing to all Nigerians to wage war against the boko haram. It is  wrong to sale food or goods to boko Haram to be taken into the Bush for the  boko haram insurgents. Anybody found will be decisively dealt with”, Adeniyi said.

He  however condemned the non-chalant attitude of some traders and commercial vehicle operators who do supply and even transport logistics to the boko haram insurgents.
