Insecurity: Bauchi engages 10,000 hunters
The Bauchi State government said it has registered 10,000 hunters to help other security agencies in fighting banditry, kidnapping, and other crimes in the state.
Alhaji Umaru Alkaleri, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Security, disclosed this in an interview with journalists on Sunday.
He added that the engagement was also a way of providing youths with employment to reduce their restiveness.
Alkaleri said, “The hunters were registered across 20 local government areas of the State and they assist in routine patrol and dislodging of suspected bandits’ camps in the bush with the support of security agencies.”
Alkaleri who is also the Chairman of the Hunters’ Association in the state, said that his members have been operating 24/7 by patrolling the nooks and crannies of the state in order to make citizens live without any fear of attacks, intimidation, or harassment by criminal elements.
“Recently, we arrested 29 suspected kidnappers, bandits, and armed robbers in the state. We also destroyed kidnappers’ camp between Dass and Tafawa Balewa Local Government Areas.”
He said the Association’s State office located at Inkil has about 200 operatives alone who are on 24/7 shifts waiting for possible distress calls from any area of Bauchi metropolis for prompt response and “we have hunters operating jointly with security in all the 20 local Government Areas of the state.”
