Over 60 alleged Boko Haram men killed in Maiduguri

On Tuesday, in Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno state that, over 60 corpses of alleged Boko Haram terrorists killed during the weekend were deposited on Monday at the State Specialists’ Hospital. The feat was achieved through the help of some youth group, popularly called Civilian JTF, who volunteered to hunt for Boko Haram Terrorists in the state capital.

It was also gathered that the terrorists were arrested and handed over to the military by the youth who have allegedly been engaged by Borno state government and had been trained by the foremost hunter, Ali Quara, who specializes in hunting armed robbers and notorious criminals.

The youth have declared manhunt on Boko Haram Sect and other criminals to clean the state criminals and terrorists after several months of blood-letting by the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

One of the Directors charged with the responsibility of evacuating corpses, who did not want his name in print told newsmen on Tuesday in Maiduguri that, the youth, who are now referred as ‘Civilian JTF’ in Maiduguri have been making tremendous effort at hunting and catching members of the dreaded sect, who seemed to have defies all effort to be arrested by the security officials.

He said, “If you observe now, the security personnel are not oppressing the people as they were doing in the past. Now, it is the ‘Civilian JTF members’ who know these Boko Haram boys that go about identifying and arresting them, before handing them over to the JTF.”


 
According to him, “with this new arrangement, Borno would soon be cleansed of these bad elements and the peace we are all praying for, is almost at our door steps” adding that “what we need to do is to continue to pray for victory for these youth that have voluntarily put their lives in the lines for the sake of millions of Borno citizens who are being killed by the Boko Haram terrorists”

He said, this is what Borno state should have done long time ago to prevent the killings of many innocent citizens. “But every thing has its own time. We did not know that one day some youth would come up, bundle a Boko Haram member and hand such over to the Military. That was impossible in the past, but now, it is the Boko Haram who are looking for where to hide.”

Also, a former Director in the Ministry of Information, who also prayed anonymity told DailyPost that, he was reliably informed that, those youth hunting for Boko Haram members in Maiduguri were 300 in number and were selected 20 from each of the 15 wards in Maiduguri and supported by the hunter, Ali Quara and some of his boys.

“You know Ali Quara was engaged by the government to train these boys who know those Boko Haram members from each ward of the state capital. They were not just trained, but also using all kinds of ‘juju’(charm) to aide their activities. They also know all those involved in the activities of Boko Haram in their various wards.
