Food recovered from boko haram insurgents destroyed army
A very specific and interesting topic!
In 2014, the Nigerian Army recovered a large quantity of food items from Boko Haram insurgents in the northeastern part of the country. The food items were reportedly destroyed by the army to prevent them from being used to sustain the insurgents and to deny them a source of sustenance.
The food items recovered included:
- Rice
- Maize
- Beans
- Sugar
- Flour
- Cooking oil
- Salt
- Spices
- Canned goods (such as tomatoes, fish, and meat)
The destruction of the food items was carried out by the Nigerian Army's 7th Division, which is responsible for the security of the northeastern states of Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa. The destruction was done in accordance with the army's standard operating procedures for dealing with recovered items that could be used to support terrorist activities.
The destruction of the food items was seen as a significant blow to Boko Haram's ability to sustain itself and to carry out its terrorist activities. The group has been known to use food and other supplies to sustain its fighters and to support its operations.
It's worth noting that the destruction of the food items was not without controversy. Some critics argued that the army should have instead used the food items to support the local population, who were suffering from food shortages and other humanitarian crises caused by the conflict with Boko Haram. However, the army maintained that the destruction of the food items was necessary to prevent them from being used to support the insurgents.
