Local sources revealed that Baba Maigiwa may have been held hostage by a Boko Haram factional leader, Modu Sulum, in what was described as a failed negotiation deal.Baba Maigiwa is the leader of hundreds of hunters recruited last year by Borno State Government to compliment efforts of the military in the fight against Boko Haram.
In Borno State, Baba Maigiwa is believed to be in charge of over 5,000 hunters and vigilantes, launching offensive on the insurgents alongside with the military. “Some of the demands by the insurgents leader were that the government should give immunity to him and his members to return into the society and cohabit peacefully, provide them with houses and other basic livelihood support, which the leader of the hunter promised to facilitate.
“Consequently, while the process of the negotiation was taken place on July 4th, the terrorist leader changed his mind, and took Baba Maigiwa along with two other hunters , into hostage. Since then, we have not heard from Baba Maigiwa.”
