The Shura Council of the Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP) terrorist group, has banned transactions in Nigeria’s Naira by farmers and fishermen in the Lake Chad region of the country due to the move by the federal government to redesign some denominations of the currency.

The Nigerian Government had announced its decision to redesign N200, N500 and N1000 notes, which they will start issuing by December and then by January 31, 2023, the old notes will cease to be legal tender.

It was gathered that this move by the government has thrown the ISWAP population in the Tumbus of the Lake Chad and away from bank branches, into confusion as they will find it extremely difficult to change their money into the new currency notes.

An intelligence report obtained from security sources by Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region, revealed that the insurgents are now receiving the West African CFA Francs which they intend to use to replace the Nigerian Naira as currency of trade in the area.

The sources said that the terrorists had also banned all Nigerian fishermen, herdsmen and farmers from sneaking into the Lake Chad through Marte, Abadam, and Gamborun Ngala in order to prevent the Naira from reaching into the camps of the terrorists in the Lake Chad.

Ibn Umar and Malam Ba’ana, the ISWAP Militant Commanders in charge of taxes and levies, who imposed the ban, said people are only allowed to come through safe routes established by the terror group through Bulgaram, Cikka, Guma, Maltam, Doron Liman and Ramin Dorina villages in the neighbouring Cameroon.

In exchange, ISWAP now collects 1,500 West African CFA Francs monthly taxes from the people who appear very willing to pay.

They have also secured trade routes for marchants, to enable them access foodstuffs, weapons, fuel and other logistics.
