“Several times we have heard reports of some IDPs given information to terrorists. We have arrested some in the past and handed them over to soldiers, who execute judgement on them. Some of them give information out of fear, others have direct relationship with the Insurgents.” He said

Humanitarian workers also confirmed the killing of the two members of the CJTF.

“It is unfortunate. I know those guys who paid the supreme price. We also commended them for their hard work. They are very strong and youthful and always hope that they see the end of the conflicts in northeast Nigeria.

“I recalled speaking with one of them who told me that he was doing the job to ensure the safety of his family members. He used to say that one day this thing shall be a story and indeed he has been a fighter.” He said

He said they have always advise staff to watch their backs as they are surrounded by ISWAP elements and their informants who constantly spy around working civilians especially the aid workers.
