Meet the 'Queen Hunter' Aisha who catches Boko Haram fighters and searches for kidnapped children in northern Nigeria
Among the thousands of hunters enlisted by the Nigerian army to track and capture Boko Haram fighters, one stands out from the crowd.Aisha Bakari Gombi towers over her band of hunters, one of the few women who has joined the fight against one of the deadliest armed groups in Africa.
With her shotgun slung over her shoulder, she ventures into the scrub of Borno, the northeastern province of Nigeria long plagued by Boko Haram attacks, hunting down their fighters.
Her bravery and keen hunting abilities have earned her the title of 'Queen Hunter'.

Government troops are quick to call on Aisha for her skills but slow to reward her efforts financially.
While she is unable to liberate many more captives held by Boko Haram due to a lack of resources, she will never stop trying.

Dive into the multiple worlds of Aisha, a commander, a hunter and a wife. Aisha's skills have earned her the name 'queen hunter'

FILMMAKER'S VIEW
By Rosie Collyer

The moment I met Aisha, I felt safe despite us meeting in one of the most dangerous places on earth. At six feet tall, Aisha is a woman of few words and a lot of action.
She signals and people follow, she commands both at home and on the battlefield. I asked if she was afraid of being killed or kidnapped by Boko Haram. She replied, "Boko Haram know me and fear me."
I did not need any further convincing to follow her on a mission to track and capture fighters.
The main challenge for me was how to film in a region where access to the places fighters hide out is restricted by the military.

As a Nigerian passport-holder I have a right to free movement, but as a filmmaker with ambitions of making a documentary for audiences around the world, I was well aware that the security forces would be suspicious of my intentions, so I decided to stay below their radar. This meant wearing a hijab at all times and not talking in the presence of strangers to avoid them hearing my British accent.
Aisha gave me unrestricted access to her world. I joined the hunters on a hunt into the bush where 30 years ago antelope roamed. In recent years only small mammals have remained, and the hunters caught just one hare that day.

Aisha used the opportunity to teach younger hunters how to identify medicinal plants. They believe that secret potions protect them from bullets. Others help them to repress hunger and thirst so they can stay in the bush for long periods.

The hunters know the fighters' hiding places in the forests and mountains better than most government soldiers. Aisha has happy memories of hunting in those places as a child with her father.
Aisha comes from a long line of hunters: "I didn't join the hunters, but rather I was born into hunting. I inherited it from my father, and he inherited it from his father."Aisha's hunting skills impressed her father so much that he gave her his hunting rifle.

When the fighters attacked Aisha's town, she gave up being a seamstress, sold her sewing machine and bought a more powerful rifle.

The fighters were chased out by the hunters who led the military onslaught against them. They were hailed as heroes, and as one of the very few women among them, Aisha entered into folklore. Civilians began to call her and ask for assistance in freeing their loved ones from Boko Haram captivity.

The arc of the film shows how Aisha and the hunters overcome the challenges of responding to distress calls. The main obstacle is convincing the military to allow them to go on rescue missions. One military commander may give his authorisation but another in a sphere of command a few kilometres away will not.

Hunters must also raise the money needed to buy ammunition, hire vehicles and fuel them themselves. In some instances, people who have fled their villages come together and raise funds for the hunters. It took several weeks to raise the amount needed for the mission I filmed in the Sambisa Forest.

Most of the money came from villagers who were desperate to return to their farms. Neither the government nor the military was able to help them resettle in their villages, so they turned to the hunters.

Once inside the vast Sambisa Forest, the hunters spent several days second-guessing the military. Fighter jets were flying overhead, and no one knew if the pilots were aware hunters were on a mission in the forest.

We moved through the forest on the backs of motorcycles just as Boko Haram does. The sound of artillery fire from a military base on the fringes of the forest punctuated the silence of the night. The hunters explained that soldiers fired surface to air missiles from their bases to warn off the fighters.
Aisha was the first woman to join the band of hunters. There are now several women tracking and capturing Boko Haram fighters

As a filmmaker, the biggest challenge was the dust and the fatal damage it can do to a camera. Over 100 hunters moving on foot or in columns of motorcycles meant there was a constant cloud of dust. This, in turn, provoked unprecedented thirst.

I had to make do with one litre of water a day in 40-degree heat. So, it felt almost like a mirage on the seventh day of the mission in Sambisa Forest when the hunters captured three Boko Haram fighters and questioned them at length.

The fighters revealed the whereabouts of women and children they were holding captive, but it was so deep in the Sambisa Forest that the hunters did not have enough fuel to go there.

The hunters handed the three fighters over to the military, but not before parading them before displaced villagers. The villagers were overcome with joy because at last someone was brave enough to confront the fighters and round them up.

[The hunters] were hailed as heroes, and as one of the very few women among them, Aisha entered into folklore. Civilians began to call her and ask for assistance in freeing their loved ones from Boko Haram captivity.
A few weeks later, I visited the villagers on their farms inside the Sambisa Forest. The rains had come, and everything was green, which reinforced a sense of renewal. The villagers had been given a new start by the hunters who were now guarding them and their farms against Boko Haram.

Most of Aisha's adult life has been marked by her inability to conceive a child. Her first marriage ended because of it. As a woman without a child, Aisha found meaning in being a hunter, and even more so when she began battling fighters and freeing women and children.

This is how she has earned her respect among both men and women.

But during the filming of this documentary, Aisha became pregnant. Her priorities are now clearly divided between being a conventional housewife and mother and continuing to safeguard her people from the ravages of Boko Haram.

While Aisha contemplates her future, the nagging question of how to eliminate her arch enemy remains. Throughout the film, Aisha is tormented by a Boko Haram commander named Bula Yaga. She has faced him in battle but has never been able to capture him.

Bula Yaga is notorious for being a sadist who kills and tortures women and children. He is also responsible for the ambush and death of Aisha's commander, Bukar Jimeta.

Soon after, rumours emerged that Bula Yaga was killed in a military operation. Pictures circulated on social media but Aisha and several other hunters who have met Bula Yaga face-to-face say the corpse photographed in the back of a pick-up truck was not his.
For Aisha, the battle against Boko Haram will not be won until Bula Yaga is captured or killed. But for now, he remains very much alive and in control of a no-go area in the Sambisa Forest.

According to the hunters, Bula Yaga continues to be supplied with weapons by some unscrupulous members of the Nigerian army.


Aisha's husband is supportive of her career as a hunter: "Her success is my success."

5 Apr 2018, Verulam, KwaZulu Natal: ATM Card Thief Apprehended & Beaten: Verulam - KZN

A 21 year old Inanda resident was apprehended after he and three accomplices robbed a woman of her ATM Card on Moss Street in the Verulam CBD a short while ago.

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa were dispatched to the scene after receiving a call from a member of public reporting a mob of approximately 50 people beating up a man.

Upon arrival a woman explained that while using the ATM at a service station she was distracted by the suspect while his accomplice stole her bank card.

As the suspects ran towards a brown Toyota Corolla she screamed for assistance. Onlookers managed to apprehend one of the men while his accomplices fled in their getaway vehicle.

The mob demanded that the suspect hand over the bank card and when he informed them that it was not in his possession they began to assault him. The suspect was severely injured during the assault.

He was placed under arrest and handed over to Police for further investigation.

The Commissioner of Police in Kwara, Lawan Ado, on Saturday said seven suspects have been arrested in connection with Thursday’s robbery attacks in Offa.
The robbery attacks on Union Bank, Eco bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, First Bank, Zenith Bank and Ibolo Micro Finance Bank resulted in the death of 17 people including seven police officers.
A number of injured victims are receiving treatment in different hospitals in Offa and Ilorin.
Mr. Ado told journalists on Saturday in Ilorin that, “Seven suspects were arrested; one at Igosun road and six others at different locations in Offa.
“They are helping us in our investigation and seven vehicles abandoned and recovered from the armed robbers, while some rifles were carted away by the robbers.
“The Inspector General of Police has ordered a full investigation and has directed his Intelligence Response Team and others to assist in getting the robbers arrested.
“The Command wishes to express its heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims while also wishing the injured quick recovery,” he said.

Come oo!, has anyone else noticed how d daughter resembles tuface?!

And what are those two bunches still doing on the ground? THEIR OWN SHARE I suppose

The DPO was removed (transfered) instead of being arrested and investigated, Nigeria with its so called police is a big mess, to the police authorities an officer helping a criminal to evade justice or involving in crimes like robbery is " just not being professional enough" and nothing very serious to deserve punishment.

It's sad that youths would rather condone crime in their land. They should be appreciative of SARS for being willing to help them clean their mess.

There has been serious commotion at the international wing of the murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos for the past few days as MEDVIEW AIRLINES, has left most of its passengers stranded, locked and deserted their office.
As at yesterday all the London bound passengers were in confusion as there was no one present at the checking in counter for medview airlines and their airport office was under lock with no staff around to explain to the intending passengers what the problem really is.
As at 2p.m this afternoon most of the London and Dubai bound who were supposed to have left since xmas day are still seen lurking around within the departure hall with most of them in tears and anger, worsened by the fact that there is no staff from medview to explain to them what the problem really is.
