Boko Haram Fighters Return To Borno Highways
|
Militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād on Monday mounted roadblocks in some parts of Borno State.
Areas, where the checkpoints were mounted by the terror group, include Mile 40, along Maiduguri/Gajaram road and Wajiroko, along Damboa/Biu road.
Sources said the insurgents were on the highways “checking on travellers' identity cards to fish out security operatives travelling in mufti.”
“They were also issuing tax receipts to defaulters,” another source confirmed.
SaharaReporters had in several reports in 2021 reported how ISWAP had been taxing residents of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe State.
Sources said failure of the residents to comply with the directive attracted the death penalty.
The terrorist group also lifted the ban imposed on fishing and farming activities in the Lake Chad area, three years after chasing people out of the area for allegedly spying for Nigerian troops.
It, nevertheless, imposed new taxes and levies in the areas controlled by ISWAP-Boko Haram, to regulate trades and agricultural activities. See Also EXCLUSIVE: Boko Haram Mounts Checkpoints On Bor
