As Federal Government allegedly refused to give the Borno
hunters an approval to proceed on the rescue mission, the hunters who earlier
declared their readiness to storm the Sambisa Forest in search of abducted
Chibok schoolgirls have left their camp in Maiduguri and returned to their
various homes. The hunters, who came from the 27 local government areas in
Borno State, had gathered in Maiduguri for about 17 days, waiting for approval
from the authority to embark on the rescue operation.
The hunters
told the Borno State Government they would want government’s commitment before
storming the Boko Haram hideouts, but could not get “concrete answer from the
state Governor, Kashim Shettima.
After spending 17days in the Hajj Camp, some of them left on
Thursday, while others left early on Friday in frustration. However, it was disclosed that the state was
under an extended state of emergency with the Federal Government controlling
security issue under the emergency.

ReplyDeleteIn a traditional Nigerian society, hunters serve as watchmen for the society. They resist external agression to their communities and kingdoms. In modern society, the security is the responsibility of the state using all institutional mechanisms at its disposal.
ReplyDeleteWhile saluting the courage of the hunters, it would be risky allowing them to face the terrorists with sophisticated weapons. Terrorists use weapons of mass effect like improvised explosive devices which they may use to cover all approaches to their hide outs.I suggest that the hunters should watch over their communities and report strange activities to the security agencies promptly.
