The Adamawa State Governor Bala James Ngillari has said
about 10, 000 people mostly local hunters, would be enlisted into the vigilance
group named Civilian JTF to assist security agencies dislodge Boko Haram
insurgents in northern and central parts of the state.
Last weekend, security forces and local hunters sacked
terrorists in Chibok, Borno State. This is even as tension was heightened in
Plateau State yesterday with the killing of a member of the security outfit,
Operation Rainbow, allegedly by a member of sector 7 of the Special Task Force
(STF) on Jos crisis.
On the plan to fortify Adamawa, Governor Ngillari, who
spoke through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Mr. P.P Elisha, said
the new group would be known as Civilian JTF which would assist law enforcement
agencies in providing security. He said, “that is why some members of the group
join the military at the checkpoints. This does not give them a licence to take
laws into their hands by harassing or arresting innocent members of the society.”
