According  to reports, about 75 Boko Haram men were killed this week by local  hunters in Maiha town, which is about 25km from Mubi town in Adamawa  State. The hunters also recaptured their town which was captured by  the insurgents this past Monday. The local hunters, armed with rifles,  machetes, bows & arrows, ambushed the insurgents as they came to  fight with the Nigerian military in their town and killed as many of  them as they could. Following the attack, many residents of Maiha  fled to Yola over fears of reprisal attacks from Boko Haram, who are  known to re-group and take revenge when their members are slaughtered. But  the hunters and other vigilante groups say they are no longer running,  that they have decided to stay and fight to keep their land and family  safe. Thousands of youths have since signed up to confront Boko Haram  insurgents in the state.
