At least 80 members of the Boko Haram sect were reportedly killed on Wednesday in a battle with local hunters in Maiha Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
One of the hunters, who
spoke with This correspondent in Yola, said that the capture of Mahia town on Monday by the insurgents irked
the local hunters in the town to mobilize other hunters in their neighbouring
communities to team up against the insurgents in order to recapture the town.
He said the hunters
fought gallantly, killed 80 of the insurgents and recaptured Mahia local
government headquarters from them.
The hunter said it is
the military authorities that are preventing them from dislodging the
insurgents because they are not constituted security forces and cannot be
trusted with the country’s safety.
He appealed to the
military authorities to scrutinize them and authorize them to face the Boko
Haram insurgents in a battle which he believed that the hunters will defeat the
insurgents.
“If the military can
authorize us and give us backups, we will wipe out the insurgents because we
know their hideouts and if it is JuJu, we also have it and we can identify
them.
“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 we used the opportunity to kill and chase some of the
insurgents out of Mahia,” he said
