Borno State hunters have pleaded with the Nigerian Army to allow them
join in the war against Boko Haram insurgents in the dreaded Sambisa
forest.
Emir of hunters in the state, Mai-Gana Mai-Durma, made the appeal while addressing journalists in Maiduguri.
Mai-Durma said the call became imperative because the hunters were
familiar with the terrain at the dreaded forest, the hideout and
operational base of the terrorists.
He said: “We are appealing to the military authorities to allow us
join the fight against Boko Haram at the Sambisa forest. We are ready to
pursue the terrorists because we know the terrain very well.”
According to him, the military should align them with members of the
vigilance group, popularly known as the Civilian JTF, for effective
result.
“We will overrun Sambisa in partnership with members of the civilian
JTF if given the opportunity. This will help to complement the effort of
military in the anti terrorism operation,” he said.
Lamenting that hunters from the 27 local government areas of the
state had been rendered idle by the insurgency, he said: “Hunters from
all the 27 Borno LGAs are all in Maiduguri with our leaders doing
nothing at present because of Boko Haram.
“Rather than idling away, we will want to assist the military in crushing Boko Haram terrorists.”
The head of the hunters in Borno State also appealed to the Shehu of
Borno, Abubakar Ibn Garbai, to assist in forwarding their request to the
military authorities for consideration.
