Youth volunteers, better known as
civilian joint task force, led by Muazu Alhaji Misiya in Bama local government
area, have captured 19 Boko Haram fighters, and two commanders on the
wanted-list of the Nigerian army.
The commanders are number 90 and
41 on the list, which was released by the army in 2015.
The recent arrest is said to be
due to the efforts of Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno state, in intensifying
the use of unconventional means in the fight against Boko Baram.
The governor had during visits to
all the 27 local government areas of the state, including Bama, held meetings
with civilian JTF, hunters and vigilantes, and procured vehicles and other
logistics they require to operate.
On Monday, Zulum held a retreat
with members of his cabinet at Damasak, a former Boko Haram strong-hold and
headquarters of Mobbar local government area.
