The Nigerian police in recent weeks have encouraged resident of Borno state, scene of an uprising by the Islamist Boko Haram sect last year, to offer them with tips on the sect.
So far only two have done so and the state's police commissioner Mohammed Jinjiri Abubakar said this was due to fear of reprisals and not out of support for the Islamists who last month threatened to kill informers.
In the past five months, around 50 has been killed by Boko Harma.
