EMMAACHILE:
Good target.

The saying that power belongs to the people found practical expression in Adamawa State on Wednesday. With the monumental failure of the military to checkmate the rampaging army of the Boko Haram sect, which in recent weeks, has overrun many towns in Borno and Adamawa states, the people decided to take their destiny in their own hands. Local hunters, armed with bows and arrows, flushed out the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents from Maiha, one of the numerous towns earlier captured by the sect in the North East, killing no fewer than 75 sect members in the process. They followed this up a day later with another offensive on the sect in Mubi, flushing out its army of occupation and killing the stooge they installed as the new Emir of the town.
Armed with Dane guns, bows, arrows, cudgels and amulets, the brave hunters confronted the army of insurgents that had humiliated our military, capturing town after town and forcing our soldiers to flee with their tails between their legs.

Before Wednesday’s exploits by the brave hunters the news media were frequently awash with tales of Nigerian soldiers fleeing to Cameroun in their hundreds at the sight of the army of the dreaded sect. And while the authorities of the Nigerian Army told the worried public that the soldiers only made a tactical detour into the neighbouring country, it is on record that many of the soldiers deployed to fight insurgency are currently on trial for mutiny. And for the first time in history, we had soldiers’ wives protesting the deployment of their husbands to Boko Haram enclaves.
Coming barely 24 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan declared his decision to vie for four more years in office, the hunters’ action was an eloquent and unambiguous passage of a vote of no confidence in the ability of the armed forces and their commander-in-chief to protect the lives of hapless inhabitants of the South East zone against the ruthless sect that has slaughtered the people in thousands. Like his predecessor, the late Umaru Yar’Adua, who ordered the military to quell an uprising the sect began in parts of the North in 2009,

President Jonathan had every chance to nip the activities of the sect in the bud after the Christmas Day bombing of Saint Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, near Abuja where 42 worshippers were killed in 2011. But rather than move decisively against the sect, he adopted a phrase that has since become a mantra: “We will name their sponsors.”

So, when the sect bombed the United Nations House in Abuja, the President said: “We will name their sponsors. When they attacked churches in Yola, Gombe, Bauchi, Maiduguri and other parts of the North, the President said: “We will name their sponsors.” When they unleashed terror on markets and motor parks in Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and other parts of the country, the President said: “We will name their sponsors.” When they attacked prisons in Bauchi, Bama, Gwoza, Kotonkarfe and other parts of Nigeria, setting thousands of prisoners free and killing scores of prison officials and inmates, the President said: “We will name their sponsors.”
Weary of empty promises and shocked at the ease with which the sect took over Mubi, the second largest town in Adamawa, while the soldiers on ground simply abandoned the armoury and fled, the people decided that the time had come to take their destiny in their own hands. The people borrowed from the Yoruba saying that when a load defies the head and rejects the shoulder, there is yet another place you can keep it. They were simply not taken in by yet another pledge by the president during his declaration of interest in the 2015 presidential race that he would not take a flight in the face of the security challenges that have rocked that part of the country since 2009.

The demystification of the dreaded sect by hunters who tread where soldiers dread appear to lend credence to the conspiracy theory of the Boko Haram crisis. Although the Federal Government has vigorously denied it, Nigerians are increasingly alligning themselves to the view that the crisis in the North East is being fuelled by the PDP-led government for political gains. The reasoning is that the North East is a stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC), hence there is a grand plot by the ruling party to make it ungovernable in order to ensure that elections are not held in that part of the country in 2015. Such a situation would put the APC at a disadvantage and brighten the chance of the ruling party to sustain its ambition to rule Nigeria for 60 years.

Two major developments have lent credence to the foregoing. The first was the confession of the Australian negotiator, Steven Davis, that Nigerian politicians were sponsoring Boko Haram. He went ahead to name specific individuals as sponsors of the group and the Central Bank of Nigeria as the financial institution that helps the sect to move funds around. Although the Federal Government was quick in refuting the allegation and distancing itself from Davis, subsequent events, including the President’s clandestine rapport with some individuals accused of funding the group. Also of great concern to observers was the ease with which the sect captured Mubi after the soldiers deployed to guard the city capitulated without firing a shot. Not a few residents of the city raised the alarm that the soldiers were only acting a script prepared by a higher authority, a view that has been stregthened by the relative ease with which cudgel-wielding hunters flushed out the sect from Mahia and Mubi

The exploits of the hunters could signal the beginning of a major revolution in our national life. The subtle declaration of loss of faith in the ability of the government of the day to secure the people’s lives in the face of clear and present danger could rub off on other Nigerians who could now live with the belief that entrusting their future in the hands of the current administration could amount to suicide.
