“Civilian JTF” Should Not Fight

[Shola Sholaz]

Following the declaration of state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States in May 2013, a section of patriotic youth in the Maiduguri metropolis organised themselves into a vigilante known as "Civilian JTF".
.
It was a resounding endorsement of the gallant efforts of the Joint Task Force of the Nigerian military and security services implementing the emergency rule aimed at flushing out the Boko Haram and other terrorist groups scourging the North East and other parts of northern Nigeria.
.
The civilians must not join in the military fray. They must stay away from harm's way. The job of a vigilante in such high-risk security operation is to provide information and extend total cooperation to the military people.
