Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, has reopened the Gamboru
international cattle market in Ngala LGA of the state.
The Borno government, in 2016, suspended trading activities
at the market as part of activities to curb the activities of insurgents who
reportedly funded their operations through cattle rustling.
Speaking at the reopening of the market on Saturday, Zulum
advised residents and traders to avoid activities that could fuel insecurity in
the area.
“I want to specifically commend President Muhammadu Buhari,
security operatives, and all stakeholders for the support and sacrifice in the
fight against Boko Haram and other nefarious activities that led to the
relative peace currently witnessed in the state and the north-east in general,”
he said.
“I am glad to
officially flag off the reopening of Gamboru Ngala international cattle market,
which was closed down for more than six years due to activities of Boko Haram
terrorists.
“As you resume transportation of cattle from Ngala to
Maiduguri and other parts of the country, I want to sound a strong warning,
particularly to cattle marketers and all stakeholders, to desist from any act
of sabotage.
“As the government, we will support you in your businesses,
but you shall cooperate with our security agencies, as anyone found wanting
will face the full wrath of the law.”
