In an effort to caution against the hardship in Adamawa State, the taskforce team on the ban of flying building materials to neighbouring Cameroon has swung into action by intercepting five trucks loads of cement along Jabbilamba, suspected to be on its way to a border town between Nigeria and Cameron
While briefing newsmen at police headquarters in Yola, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Humwashi Wunosiko said the trucks were intercepted on their way to the claimed destination within the state.
Wunosiko said when Governor Fintiri enforced the ban last week a taskforce team of all security agencies in Adamawa was formulated and they swung into action and intercepted the five trucks of a load of cement suspected to be transported to a broader community in the state.
According to the CPS, the trucks will be escorted to claim destination as written on the waybill and make sure they are not diverted to the neighbouring Cameroon.
It could be recalled that last week Governor Fintiri has banned flying of all building materials to the neighbouring Cameron republic through the border town community in the state.
According to the report exporting the building materials prices have skyrocketed in the market and make life difficult for the people in the state and cement is one of those building materials and the retail price is now 10,200 in Adamawa.
The suspected truck load with cement is questionable as no border community in the state may require such huge amounts of cement at this time of Economic meltdown.
Items intercepted are 250 bags of Dangote cement in five trucks.
