The newspapers are saying hundreds are angered by Boko Haram’s constant killing of civilians.

The daily Premium Times reports Boko Haram militants captured the northern town of Maiha after a battle with government troops.

The newspaper says the hunters mobilised and chased the insurgents killing many of them.

The hunters recaptured the town yesterday.

Bako Goni, coordinating grassroots policing at state level, says youth vigilantes, hunters, retired soldiers, paramilitary operatives, artisans and petty traders, have all signed up to fight Boko Haram.

Critics accuse the Nigerian government of not doing enough in the fight against the jihadis who’ve killed thousands of people in their campaign to establish an Islamist state in the country.
