Boko Haram terrorists have killed the leader of the Borno State Hunters association, Abdulkareem Umar, popularly known as Baba Maigiwa.
According to available reports, Baba Maigiwa has been held hostage since July by the terrorists.
He was reportedly killed following a failed negotiation by the Boko Haram factional commander.
Maigiwa is noted for his escapades in the terror war and tacit support to troops of the Nigerian Army.
