Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno has announced a total ban on metal scavenging in the state with immediate effect.

The governor said on Monday that an Executive Order will be issued to that effect.

Zulum announced the ban when sighted metals vandalized by scavengers from government structures, during a visit to Bulumkutu area of Maiduguri.

“All those things are government properties, you can see street lights and communication towers. Such acts can sabotage the activities of state and Federal Governments.

“We can’t allow that to continue, I want to condemn and to announce the ban on metal scavenging in Borno till further notice.

“I will sign an Executive Order banning all forms of metal scavenging in Borno,” Zulum said

He observed that many scavengers have lost their lives to insurgents in the bid to vandalize items from deserted communities.

On July 7, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps arrested six suspects for vandalizing NITEL communication mast in Chiki village, Chibok Local Government Area
