The Mai Karwina of Borno (leader of the hunters) has urged the government to arm them with better weapons to enable them fight against the Boko Haram terrorists. According to him, their guns are outdated and can only function for two strikes maximum.


Read below what was shared on Facebook;

‘I am the Mai Karwina of Borno (leader of the hunters). I was crowned 17years ago when my father died. I was 12year old. Even at the age no one made me feel like I was unworthy of being in the position. I grew up with the other hunters still I became a man old enough to lead. Borno is our home, our land. So we know where the terrorists will go and where they might hide.

And every time we go to attack terrorists, we lose one or two of our boys because we don’t have the necessary ammunition and machinery or any from government. Our guns are outdated.

With rainy season approaching, the gun will only function for two strikes maximum and anyone can strike you dead afterwards. It isn’t a modern version. It’s difficult working like this. We need weapons. We work day and night because it’s our community but sadly there’s no . We are hoping and desperately seeking the attention of government to provide us with the necessities. We just want to win this war’

Save your bullet for your governor or leaders. They have been given good amount of money for this Boko Haram fight by International community but they chose to steal it at the expense of una life.

Your leaders are the bokoharam.... they pay for the fight to keep going so monies would always be released for security at the same time claim under developed due to terrorist activities...

Its a win win situation for them..

This Reminds Me of ... Aisha Gombi Bakari, a Nigerian Huntress who's now fighting Boko Haram insurgency in NorthEast Nigeria.

Among thousands of hunters used by the Nigerian Army to track & capture Boko Haram fighters, Aisha stands out from the crowd.

The government can't arm you. How are they sure you won't become another national problem afterwards?

How do we ensure the guns don't get into the hands of terrorists?

Difficult situation to manage.

I think the Army should be mobilised in larger numbers and save these civilians from wasting their lives.

I don't think the government will provide that for you. They are selfish and greedy. If they should give in to your request you will kill their men.

Boko haram is political and you should know that. Even headsmen also is political.they play a part in politics.

They are used in bringing terror and could be formidable.
It is a waste of time fighting them.
The only solution is to eliminate bad leaders
