How Boko Haram funds its activities

By Dauda R Pam

Maj-Gen. Olusegun Adeniyi, theatre commander operation LAFIYA DOLE, has revealed that Boko Haram was running a fishing economy to fund terrorist activities in the Northeast.

The Theatre commander said this while destroying four trucks of fish, hides and skin intercepted by the Nigeria Security Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), along Gamboru/Ngala Road, Borno State.

He said,“Nigerians have been wondering exactly how Boko Haram finances itself; how they go about it and how they have survived for many years. While I’m not disputing there may be people financing them, I know one of the ways the group gets money is through fishing,” and appealed to law-abiding Nigerians and members of the National Union of Roads Transport Workers (NURTW) not to support their illegal fishing business.

Major General Olusegun Adeniyi, warned, that anybody caught transporting fish for Boko Haram would be dealt with, as both the fish and modes of transportation would be destroyed.
