Volunteer Vigilance Youths Group (VVYG) otherwise
known as 'Civilian JTF' on Thursday arrested and set
ablaze an alleged notorious Boko Haram sect member
at Gwange ward in Maiduguri, Borno State capital,
residents and witnesses said. This is the second time the youths would burn a
suspected member of the Boko Haram in less than a
week. Some of the vigilante members who took part in the
burning said the suspect had once killed and burned a
soldier in the area sometime last year. The claim could not be verified from the spokesman of
the Joint Task Force, JTF, Lt Col Sagir Musa but a
security source confirmed that the youths had burnt
the suspect. "This (the action of the vigilantes) is a serious source
of concern to us... jungle justice is a crime in itself and
we want parents to caution their wards against it,"
the source said. Weekly Trust gathered that the suspected Boko
Haram member had led insurgents in the killing of
many people and perpetrated "many atrocities" at
Gwange Sabon Layi. "The actions of the suspect who fled to the forest last
December prompted soldiers to sack residents from
the area," a resident of Gwange said. One of the vigilantes also corroborated. "Only Allah
knows how eager we were to catch that guy (burnt
suspect) alive. As a result of his bad deeds, soldiers
sacked and closed our area completely. But we were
then told that the guy had escaped into the forest.
Some even believed that he has been killed since. We were on operations when we saw him. "On seeing him, all the youths shouted 'here he is'.
Then everyone of us was jubilating, seeing our
'wanted guy'. "So, we instantly reminded him of what he did last
year, but to our surprise, he started begging us to
pardon him. As he was crying, we tied him up, poured
fuel on his body and set him on fire. No pity for Boko
Haram sect members at all now. Thousands have
been displaced and hundreds were killed because of his bad deeds," the vigilante said.
