No fewer than 80 members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect were said to have been killed yesterday by local hunters in Mahia area of Adamawa State.
It was learnt from one of the local hunters, who was part of the team that engaged the terrorist group in a fierce battle, that they were angered by Monday's attack on their town, deciding to move against the terrorists.

The local hunters, who spoke on condition of anonymity said they mobilised local hunters from surrounding towns to engage the Boko Haram insurgents and they were successful in recapturing their town. He said:
"we fought gallantly, killed 80 members of
the Boko Haram insurgents and recaptured Mahia Local Government
headquarters (from their control)"
"The military kept telling us that we cannot be allowed to go
after the insurgents since we are not really constituted. We can only
appeal to the military authorities to scrutinise us and authorise us to
face the Boko Haram insurgents in a battle which I believed we will
defeat the insurgent and regain our land."
"If the military can
authorise us and give us back- ups, we will wipe out the insurgents
because we know their hideout and if it is juju (local charms), we will
match them for it."
"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 used the opportunity to kill and chase some of the
insurgents out of Mahia."
I guess this is good news. Brave men indeed. Good Job done. Hope they give them the liberty to kill this devils more. AMEN
