over 75 Boko Haram members killed and, Maiha town recaptured
Today according to reports, over 75 Boko Haram members were killed by local hunters in Maiha town of Adamawa state, which is about 25km from Mubi town in Adamawa State.
The local hunters, armed with rifles, machetes, bows & arrows, ambushed the insurgents as they came to fight with the Nigerian military in their town and killed as many of them as they could
mean while following the attack, the residents of Maiha fled to Yola over fears of reprisal attacks from Boko Haram, who are known to re-group and take revenge when their members are slaughtered.
But the hunters and other vigilante groups say they are no longer running, that they have decided to stay and fight to keep their land and family safe. Thousands of youths have since signed up to confront Boko Haram insurgents in the state.
