ENUGU—THE 25 hunters with 19 dane guns from Zamfara State, arrested by the police at Nsukka, Enugu State, in January, have been granted bail, although investigation is still on-going, Enugu State Commissioner of Police , Mr. Job Danazumi Doma, disclosed yesterday.

The police commissioner told newsmen that the suspects were taken to their villages in Zamfara to confirm their proper identities as hunters and after confirmation was made, they were released on bail.

He, however, stated that further investigation into the matter was currently going on to determine if there was any other motive aside hunting expedition which the hunters claimed.

According to the police boss, “after conducting a thorough search on the arrested hunters, there was nothing incriminating found on any of them hence the decision to grant them bail.

“They have been released on bail. They were taken to their villages for proper identification as hunters which they claimed to be”.

“After that was confirmed, they were released on bail. But investigation is still ongoing to determine if there was any other motive, aside hunting expedition.”

Vanguard learnt that the suspects were transferred from Enugu State police command to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, after granting them bail on Sunday from where they were finally released.

The suspects were reportedly traveling from Zamfara State in a bus bearing Zamfara State government number plate when they were intercepted by the police at Okpuje, near Nsukka, last month.

The Divisional Police Officer at the Nsukka police station, however, was quoted to have said that the suspects were hunters who were traveling from Zamfara on a hunting expedition to settle at Adani in Uzo-Uwani local government area of the state, and not actually members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram as reported by the media.

this guys thinks we are f00ls or what.

yes every murderer is a hunter, but hunting of what ?
a zamfaran go all the way from his state to hunt in enugu?
are they individual hunters or government hunters?
if they are individual hunters then how do hunters get gov vehicle to carry them with their ammunition?
if they are hunting for gov of zamfara how did zamfara state gov send hunters to another state unofficially? without the notice of the counterparts.

yes they are hunters that hunts for human lives. whenever they murder a person the news will change and call them cattle rearer and the host kill their cow then they kill the host.
by the way when did fulani/hausa people start hunting as profession? this is unheard of. they keep on releasing any hausa/fulani caught in any evil.
later they will want to deny freeing hausa bad boys. its everywhere online their brothers in the police don't keep their kins man in custody no matter what they do against the south.

Hunters, kai!

So Enugu get Lions and Antelopes

or are they hunting for humans ?

I tire oh

Our leaders have dribbled us again.

somtimes they enter thesame bus with you, the passengers will start shouting at the driver why he he allowed this aboki to enter thesame bus with them.
after enugh shouting they will be forced to be sreen before allowing them. i always pity those carnibals

Nigerian leaders are absolutely convinced that all Nigerians are fools. When did hunters start travelling in buses for hunting expeditions? Why travel all the way from Zamfara, through Kaduna, Abuja and Kogi States (a 12+ hr journey), to hunt in Enugu? Who are the real fools here?

D massive land in d north is nt enuogh forest 4 dem 2 hunt again? Heyyy d wan tell us anoda super story again, i hope wale adenuga is still producing it. Am out.

What happened to d Lion terrorising d northern axis? Can't they go n hunt it down. So there isn't enuff games in d vast expanse of land in dier region. These people av a sinister motive! Who knws hw many of em are headed down south in oda forms of disguise ? Na only dese one we knw na. Aboki snipers. Smh

This country is doomed. Nigeria is a big shit.

The police must visit their villages before confirming if they hunters or not. What about asking for their licenses? What makes them hunters? Anybody can claim any profession in Nigeria? The nonsense in Nigeria is getting out of hand.

Hunters? Very soon the hunters will be heading to Lagos -where there is enough land for hunting.
To the Nigerian Police: He who enjoy throwing stone into the market should be careful[color=#990000][/color]

The 27 men from the northern part of Nigeria with 19 local guns and other dangerous weapons who were arrested by the police at Nsukka (Thursday night) for unlawful possession of fire arms were hunters, and have no link to the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, Sunday Trust learnt from a reliable police source.

Our reporter learnt that upon arresting the men, the traditional ruler of Adani Community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State was actually contacted and he confirmed that the men, among them a 70-year-old man, were hunters who went on expedition. The men were armed with axes, long knives and other harmful objects.

It was gathered that the last time the hunters visited the town on similar expedition was about three years ago, and that they usually settled at a camp in Adani, although they are still under police custody.

“The security situation in the country now does not permit one to carry guns about from one state to another since that will create more tension plus the already existing tension the land,” said the source.

The Nsukka Division of Enugu State Police Command had Thursday night arrested 25 persons and their two drivers, including local guns, which they concealed in bags of fertilizer with axes and long matchets. The suspects were reportedly traveling from Zamfara state with a bus bearing Zamfara state government number plate Thursday night when they were intercepted by the police at Nsukka.

The Divisional Police Officer at the Nsukka police station, who drove away reporters, and prevented them from taking pictures of the suspects, however, quoted to have said that the suspects were hunters who were traveling from Zamfara on a hunting expedition to settle in Enugu, and not actually members of the Islamic sect.

Our reporter gathered that a powerful team of police had been sent from Enugu Police Command to transfer the case and suspects to the state police Headquarters at Enugu for further screening. “The state government does not want to take chances,” the source said.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident said the Hausas were “really intercepted on their way from Zamfara, they were coming to settle in Enugu. They had den guns for hunting and not terrorism adventures.”source:www.sundaytrust,com.ng

I am a hunter.

These mugus were on the trail of a special kind of animal meat local only to Enugu forest. It was a misunderstanding! Abeg, make una no vex

Don't ibo people have hunters as well? I mean, there are plenty animals up north. If caught and they ask what you doing hunting in Zaria you tell them your compass lost its calibration and you thought you were actually in Isialanga and not Zaria.

we are watching them. this smelly fufu eating igbos no dey rest? who cares if u are afraid our hunters will travel anywhere and hunt no matter what u feel about it so far u cannot devide nigeria, u will live with it and no law stops us from mapping out ur bushy villages and comb them of any animal.
