Boko Haram stolen livesstock and borno has oder market yo be closed down.

The Borno state government in northeast
Nigeria has suspended trading in four cattle
markets to prevent the sale of stolen
livestock to raise funds for Boko Haram
Islamists.
Governor Kashim Shettima said "all trading
activities have been suspended until further
notice in line with (the) government
commitment to ensure that no public place is
turned into an avenue for funding activities of
the terrorists".
The affected markets are in the towns of
Gamboru, Dusuman, Shuwarin and Ngom all
outside the provincial capital Maiduguri.
Sales of dried meat such as "kilishi" -- a
popular delicacy in northern Nigeria made
from roasted thin strips of spiced beef, lamb
or goat -- have also been banned, he added on
Friday.
A military counter-offensive that began last
year has recaptured territory lost to Boko
Haram in Borno and two neighbouring states
and the government in Abuja believes the
group is "technically" defeated.
Hit-and-run raids on remote villages in the
mainly agricultural region -- a trademark tactic
of the group -- have increasingly seen Boko
Haram fighters make off with cattle and
foodstuffs.
The army says it has cut off the rebels'
supply lines, making it difficult for them to
source food, fuel for vehicles and weapons.
Some raids have been carried out on foot or
even on bicycle.
Shettima told a meeting of cattle traders that
security officials have reported the markets
were being used by unscrupulous middlemen
to sell stolen livestock in raids at inflated
prices.
"The money realised from such transactions
will then be channelled to fund the deadly
activities of the terrorists," Shettima said.
Maiduguri's cattle market has previously been
shut for similar reasons, leading to a shortage
of meat in the city and a public outcry.
Imports of cattle into Maiduguri have been
banned for the next two weeks and only
licenced cattle traders and butchers were
allowed to bring in livestock, slaughter and
sell meat, the governor added.
