See How Local hunters kill 80 Boko Haram members

One of the local hunters, who was part of the team that engaged the terrorist group in a fierce battle, said that they were angered by Monday’s attack on their town, so they decided to move against the terrorists.
He boasted that if given the chance by the military authorities, the hunters would have dispersed the insurgents from all the captured areas of Adamawa and beyond.
He said, “We fought gallantly, killed 80 members of the insurgents and recaptured Mahia Local Government headquarters (from their control).”

He said, “The military kept telling us that we cannot be allowed to go after the insurgents since we are not legally constituted.




q “We can only appeal to the military authorities to scrutinise us and authorise us to face the Boko Haram insurgents in a battle which I believed we will defeat the insurgents and regain our land.

“If the military can authorise us and give us back-ups, we will wipe out the insurgents because we know their hideouts and if it is juju (local charms), we will match them it.

“Boko Haram fear us because they know what we can do. Let the military leave us with Boko Haram and see what is going to happen. We took advantage of the fact that the soldiers have fled the area and used the opportunity to kill and chase some of the insurgents out of Mahia.”
