Forty one
members of the Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram, were beheaded by the
vigilante group in a Borno village, Gur, it was gathered on Friday.
A member
of the youth vigilance group in the area, Mala Yusuf, recounted that after a
failed attack on Sabon Gari in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno state, a
combined team of military men and members of the vigilance group otherwise known
as Civilian JTF, went after the insurgents and killed 41 of them.
He said
the militants were pursued from Sabon Gari, in Damboa Local Government to Gur
area around Mandafuma village, in Biu Local Government Area, where they engaged
the sect members in a gun battle which lasted for about two hours.
He said
after the clash, 41 members of the sect were killed.
He said
as a proof that they were killed, the youth vigilance members severed the heads
of the terrorists and brought their heads to show to the public.
He said,
“The vigilance beheaded the insurgents after the shootout and took their heads
to Biu to show the people that the Boko Haram insurgents are human and not some
beasts and so, people should not fear them but to join hands with security
operatives to ensure that the sect, who are enemies of Islam and the people of
Nigerians, are defeated.
We heard
that the insurgent went to attack Sabon Gari, where people are just returning
to their homes after three months of exile as internally displaced persons in
various camps across the state. We went after them to foil the planned attack.
“We were
able to repell them and seeing that they headed towards Mandafuma in Biu Local
Government, we went after them and we were able to ambush them at Gur. “We
engaged them in fierce battle with the soldiers and 41 of them were killed, one
of them was taken alive.”
