Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has engaged 1,000 hunters to protect farmers in four local government areas of the state.

The councils to be protected from Boko Haram attacks include Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC), Jere, Konduga and Mafa local government areas.

While flagging off the engagement of the hunters on Thursday at Khaddamari, the council headquarters of Jere, he disclosed that the farmers were being protected within a radius of 15 kilometres of Maiduguri metropolis, Khaddamari, Konduga and Mafa towns.

He said the security architecture in the state would be reviewed to sustain the gradual restoration of peace across the state and border areas of Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

“To subdue the insurgents, it is strategically important to be committed to ending the insurgency that has claimed many lives and property,” he said. He noted that this would bring and sustain peace and the security of people’s lives and property. He said the Civilian JTF had become an integral part of the security architecture in the fight against insurgency.

The role of hunters, according to him, had become a success story because of their active involvement in overcoming security challenges. He said the hunters were conversant with the terrains and black spots vulnerable to terrorists’ attacks.

This, according to him, informed the state government’s decision to engage more hunters to assist the gallant troops end terrorism.

He added that the hunters also provide assistance to soldiers to pursue and subdue the insurgents. He lamented that suspected criminals were still maneuvering the four councils and continued to prevent people from working on their farmlands.

Zulum pledged that the hunters would be equipped and provided with logistic support, including regular payments of monthly allowances.

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has engaged 1,000 hunters to protect farmers in four local government areas of the state.

This is more like a state police the state governors have been clamoring for.

Decentralize the police and let the state governors take charge of the security in their states. Let us know which state government is functioning and which one is lacking in function.

The FG police have been compromised into receiving bribes and sewing and waybilling cloths and caps.

Right step in the sweet direction , Kill anybody that's lanky like Buhari, any cow roaming about should be used as food for the farmers!!! But the big question is will they the hunters be there to guide the farm at night ??

Give the farmers guns let the hunters go to their farmers too, if Boko Haram know they (famers) have ak47, they will never come near them, 'cause they (book Haram) flex their muscles on innocent people wey no carry gun. I like this governor sha, Kingsley moghalu and babagana Zulum for president , will be a great combo

Journalist: what do you have to say about this?


Me: They are all one.


Drop mic

Security, Unity, Economy etc has totally collapsed under this illiterate. Only few privileged criminal minded brutes still want it to continue so they keep feeding fat from our collective misery.

Buhari is now commander in chief of our hunters

A shame back to back

This the very government Yoruba packaged and sold to Nigerians

Today hunters are protecting farmers.. while our military is busy burning houses and killing unarmed civilians ..

Maybe Apc should disarm Nigeria military and replace them with hunters ... they have obviously become useless to Nigeria.

Apc is evil

Good..But how sure are we that some of them are not informants to boko haram?

DO same in the SOUTH against Herdsmen and watch Nigeria BURN.....

All for the gram

Something that our sophisticated military men were not able to achieve, bunch of clowns in a military uniform


Kudos to the gallant Hunters

Thunder fire All BMCs they no go die better

We are getting it right gradually

State Police is the solution. Or better still dissolve Nigeria and let everyone go their separate ways. These daily killings by Fulani terrorist and boko harama, must not be allowed to continue.

state police is the way. or better still, allow people of good and stable minds carry weapons, and see whether the security situation will not get better

So what’s the work of the police ??

Na wa o.

Good. The dangerous breathing mannequin hiding inside the Rock is doing well.

Very soon, he too will need Hunters to protect him inside the Rock because his brothers including Boko Haram = Bandits = Fulani herdsmen will soon invade the Rock to greet their Patron and Sponsor.

Let us ask our two prodigal sons Lie and Femi whether this is also part of the CHANGE hat they promised.

Kudos to the governor.
