Recapture of Chibok town: Hunters and Vigilante group made it possible-Chibok Elders
While Nigerian Army issued a statement telling the world how they
recaptured Chibok town from the Boko Haram insurgents, elders of Chibok
are saying ‘not so fast.’ According to a village elder who spoke to
AFP, the vigilante and hunters groups fought inside the town while
trained Nigerian soldiers were outside doing a ‘moping operation’.
“The Nigerian Army troops recaptured Chibok at about 7pm last
(Saturday) night from Boko Haram insurgents. The town is now secure.
Exploitation and mop-up operations are ongoing. More details will follow
as soon as they are available,”- Colonel Timothy Antigha, Chief of
Staff, Department of Army Public Relations. He made the above statement
with no reference to the hunters and Vigilante groups who according to
the villagers, were the ones who fought the insurgents.
With this success, this writer thinks is about time, the vigilante
and hunter groups were given the green light to invade Sambissa forest.
Please give these men their due credit for their outstanding
gallantries.
