Youths started forming these vigilante groups in June, 2012 in Maiduguri - the capital of Borno State and former seat of BH’s leadership - when they became fed up with BH’s incessant killings.

CJTF members patrol the streets armed with machetes, bows and arrows and sticks, identifying BH suspects, whom they turn in to the government security Joint Task Force (JTF). At times they also attack or even kill suspects themselves. Once a self-organized group, most members now receive US$113 per month from the Borno State government.

Borno state government is seriously investing in civilian JTF popularly known as yan Gora

In this picture below... They're protecting farmers in a village in Borno.

These are young men and women (Civilian JTF) that suppose to be in schools or their business places, like any other Nigerian, but because of the nature of where they found themselves, they joined Civilian JTF to fight against Boko Haram insurgents.

Borno youths

Women are not left out!

A Negative ideology can only be defeated with a positive ideology!

Arewa youth must stand to defend Borno villagers!

They sacrifice their lives to defend their villages.

Yan Gora!

Civilian JTF!

Right there in the forest.

This is Ahmed Diallo... He identify Bokoharams by just looking at their faces.

Zulum never stop empowering and supporting yan Gora

Anything to end this evil monsters called bokoharam is welcomed.

Governor Zulum is really a blessing to Borno state and Nigeria as a whole

I wish them success.
The farmers incident is a gory nightmare.

It's not by dancing atilogwu oh.

It's long over due, if the government can't protect it's people instead of waiting to be killed it's better they protect themselves.

It is not really by having a photo shoot, I hope they won't be as useless as the service chiefs and they will defend their land and people when the time comes.

Good thing to defend your territory,, but make this empowerment of youths with arms no go turn another thing. My thoughts though

A nice picture of them killing bokoharam will be cool to see.
Keep us updated when that happens.

Boko Haram boys will just used this ones do Kilishi.

I hope you know boko fear these once more than your Nigerian Army?

This is a very sorry sight. People that would have been engaged gainfully in other sectors of the economy have no choice but to fight for themselves or be raped/killed by people who will in turn be rewarded by the govt with new clothes & N170k per month.

Arrewa na u get that big belle for dia so?

Imagine this youth becoming another band of armed militias tomorrow.So citizens have to take over the responsibility of govt? So why are the armed forces still being paid from the nation's coffers? Nigeria is now a failed state

This is more reasons why restructuring or disintegration have to occur so that regional govt can give direction, provide security & enhance development @ their own pace & not dependent on the centre.

Nigerian military are using tanks , machine gun, and fighter jets to fight Boko Haram , yet they're unable to defeat them.
E come be this one !
Instead, you guys should Channels this energy to pursue Buhari to end this manic, cause he is thier chief sympathiser !

these people should be equipped with guns

It will end in tears.
The Niger delta is an example let them leave it for the useless government

it is well with Nigeria. We practically do everything for ourselves in this country with this government looking on.

How can a sane government leave the security of it citizens in the hand of the people.

what they are very good at is increase fuel price, increase electrical tariff and tax the living daylight out of the people.
posterity will judge everyone who made Nigeria a mockery to the world.

Kudos to the youth, I salute their bravery
