MAIDUGURI—Youths Vigilante group in Borno State, otherwise known as Civilian JTF, weekend, arrested 31 Boko Haram suspects in various locations in Maiduguri metropolis amidst ovations and commendations from residents and soldiers of the Joint Task Force, JTF.

The arrested sect members were immediately handed over to the various local sector commanders of JTF for further interrogation and investigation.

The suspects were believed to have been dislodged from their training camps at Sambisa Games Reserves Forests and Kirenowa, a border community with Chad, after troops attacked the camps following declaration of state of emergency by President Goodluck Jonathan.

According to the chairman of the vigilante group, Abubakar Mallum, the suspects were nabbed at NEPA Market junction, Anguwar Doki, Shuwari II and Gambouru market, among other areas of Maiduguri metropolis.

JTF commended the youths in the joint manhunt of fleeing Boko Haram suspects.

Its spokesman, Lt.-Col Sagir Musa said: “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.”

Speaking on the youths’ modus operandi yesterday in Maiduguri, the group’s leader, Mallum said: “Although some people call us ‘Civilian JTF’ in the manhunt of Boko Haram suspects in Maiduguri, we members of this Youths Vigilante group operate at strategic locations with ordinary sticks and cutlasses.”

Good job.good teamwork.that's the only way forward.solidarity.
Anyway I hope human factors and weakness don't begin to cloud the judgment of the youths.in such a situation,some youths might begin rounding up others based on personal grudges and percieved enmity for the JTF to deal with.
I pray that doesn't happen.
God bless Nigeria.

what is this one talking about?

Once again,God bless these brave hearts. I can now start believing gradually that there are human beings in the north worth calling humans. This is what we've been asking our northern/muslim brothers to do so we can believe that Islam is not totally about violence.

e make sense ........ Come o, dm knw dey finish

Banger lee!

Well I wanna believe the last statement here by the civ jtf head dat they carrying sticks and cutlasses dosent mean he wants dem to be given arms? It begs the question dou.

The actions of the JTF and the communities are highly commendable. The SOE was long overdue,

Kudos to GEJ, at least u tried giving dem a Civil option which dey rejected.

bonba 2 bonba no space for them 2 hide,Good development
