The paramilitary group, which is counted as May-May , was founded in 2009 by Ntabo Ntambui Cheka .
She is said to have been involved in the mass rape in Luvungi together with the Forces Démocratiques de la Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR) . Militia Chief of Staff Sadoke Kokunda Mayele was captured by UN forces on October 5, 2010 in connection with the rape.

On November 19, 2011, soldiers from the Mai-Mai Checka reportedly killed an FDLR colonel Evariste Kanzeguhera aka Sadiki Soleil. According to the Ralliement pour l'Unité et la Démocratie (RUD), a spin-off from the FDLR, the murder was targeted. According to other claims, it was a battle in which Makanaki, the deputy of Ntabo Ntambui Cheka, also died.
