RATE ENLIGHTENMENT and determination are yielding
positive fruits in the fight against terrorism as
members of Volunteer Vigilance Youths Group (VVYG)
and men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Borno State
arrested 31 Boko Haram terrorists at various locations
in Maiduguri at the weekend. Their effort drew ovations and commendations from
residents and soldiers, as they went after the fleeing
suspects after the destruction of their training camps
at Sambisa Games Reserves Forests (SGRF) and
Kirenoa, a border community with Chad. According to the VVYG Chairman, Abubakar Mallum,
and his vice, Isa Musa, the suspects were nabbed at
NEPA Market junction, Anguwar Doki, Shuwari II and
Gambouru Market areas of Maiduguri. He added that
the terrorists have already been handed over to the
various JTF local sector commanders for further investigation. The fleeing terrorists had attacked Ansarudeen
Secondary School, as well as fishermen and traders at
Alau Dam, killing 22 people, including nine students
writing the National Examinations Council (NECO) on
Baga Road. Speaking on their modus operandi yesterday in
Maiduguri, Mallum said youth vigilance group
“operates at strategic locations with ordinary sticks
and cutlasses, without any rifle like the soldiers that
patrol the major streets and roads of Maiduguri.” According to him, “all vehicles are stopped at these
strategic locations, and we search their interiors,
boots and hoods, where some of the rifles are hidden
to launch attacks in this city.” In a breakdown of the arrests made at the weekend,
Mallum disclosed that on Friday, four suspects were
arrested in Shuwari ward, while the following day,
five were arrested and handed over to the nearest
local sector commander of JTF. Last Wednesday, he said, 15 suspected armed Boko
Haram members were also arrested at Gambouru
Market, while the residents were cooperating to end
the incessant attacks and killings in the state. Meanwhile, the JTF Sunday also commended the
youths for the joint manhunt of fleeing Boko Haram
suspects. According to its spokesman, Lt. Col. Sagir
Musa, “the JTF commended these youths for
assisting our soldiers and police arrest these terrorists
suspects among people living in the metropolis. “The youths have also renewed their efforts in
supporting the JTF in the current operations.” source,,,
