While briefing journalists in Sokoto, Coordinating Comptroller Mr. Kolapo Oladeji stated that trucks carrying food supplies were also intercepted at the Kajji settlement on the Sokoto-Kebbi route.
According to him, the intercepted truckloads of food were traveling to the Niger Republic across the Kebbi border, which violated laws.
