Borno Recruits 1,000 ‘Ninja Hunters’ With ‘Powers To Disappear’ by dre11(op): 11:57am On Oct 07, 2019
The spiritual warfare against Boko Haram has officially commenced in Borno state.
Babagana Zulum, the governor, has secretly recruited 1,000 traditional hunters from different parts of the north-east and north-west.

They are believed to possess supernatural powers to resist gun shots and also disappear and appear — like Japanese ninjas.

Zulum, a professor of engineering, has become apprehensive over the resurgence of Boko Haram in his state despite the efforts of the military.
Last week, the Nigerian army organised a seminar on using spiritual warfare to counter insurgency.

Zulum had only Friday in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, directly engaged 30 devotees for daily supplication around Ka’aba, Islam’s holiest site, to pray for peace in the state which has been the epicentre of the insurgency since July 2009.

A source familiar with the secret recruitment said the governor may have decided to try unconventional means to supplement efforts of the military.

TheCable learnt that the recruitment was intensified in the last two weeks with the traditional hunters armed and administered the oath of allegiance using the Qur’an, Islam’s most sacred book.

The hunters are largely Muslims.

Although the state government has been recruiting thousands of local hunters, vigilantes and the civilian JTF for years, they were volunteers from Borno.

“This is the first time outsiders have been engaged,” the source said.

“They are being brought into Borno in batches, often during the night in order to evade public attention.”

They are provided with dane guns, swords and anything they ask for, TheCable further learnt.

The source said: “The special hunters are being identified from all parts of the north-east and north-west, in particular, and engaged by a team of trusted aides assigned by Governor Zulum.”

Zulum had in June 2019, a month after he was sworn in, appointed a retired army colonel as special adviser on security.

He also increased monthly allowances of thousands of existing volunteers under the civilian JTF.

He immediately acquired 160 patrol vehicles and surveillance gadgets which he distributed to the fighters he inherited.

TheCable could not confirm the actual number of new hunter-fighters being recruited, but they are over a thousand.

They are being deployed in northern Borno — which has 10 of Borno’s 27 local government areas.

Nigeria’s share of the Lake Chad is substantially located in places in northern Borno.

Boko Haram insurgents are said to be in control of local and international water ways of Baga, a major fishing community in Kukawa local government area, also in northern Borno.
The insurgents are believed to impose taxes on all water ways transportation to generate funds for their activities.

Northern Borno is also where oil prospecting was being carried out by the NNPC. The oil search has largely been halted owing to activities of the insurgents.

See eh, we need to be respectful to developed countries e nor easy to get sense. Even as far back as world war 1 the first world countries have already gone past this mentality.One thing is clear tho, the most foolish leaders on earth reside in Nigeria.
