Despite the huge amounts that have been spent annually on the security sector in order to protect lives and properties in Nigeria, insecurity still remains a burden in the north-eastern part of the country.

As part of its efforts to end insecurity Borno State government recruited more than five hundred local hunters last year to complement the military efforts in the peace restoration mission in the region, particularly to protect farmers while on their farms.

Usman Bukar, a farmer who was severally targeted by the insurgents, says that the local hunters are doing their best but farmers are still very vulnerable to attacks, he urges them to do more to protect farmers.

Speaking to Radio Ndarason International reporter in Maiduguri today, Adam Bulama, Borno State deputy chairman of the hunters association, said that the hunters are ready to fight but there are concerns that need to be addressed.

Bulama whose two children were killed by the insurgents said, due to the lack of sophisticated arms, vehicles for transportation and motivation by governments, they cannot give their best, noting that many of his colleagues were bombed, while others slaughtered by the Boko Haram fighters in the course of doing their duty.

He called on government to constitute panel to investigate corruption in the security system of the state.
