At least 29 fisherman have been killed by alleged Boko Haram terrorists while fishing in the Lake Chad region of Borno state.
The incident allegedly took place in Mukdolo village, a border hamlet between Nigeria and Cameroon on the outskirts of Lake Chad, which is a part of Borno State’s Gamboru-Ngala Local Government Area.
Terrorists riding motorbikes killed the fisherman on Wednesday night when they were out fishing and cutting wood, according to sources in the local government area.
According to reports, the terrorists opened fire randomly, killing 29 people while seven others narrowly escaped with minor injuries.
“The terrorists asked the victims to lie down. Thereafter, they used their fishing net and wrapped the victims before they started torturing them. After they became unconscious, they opened fire on them and killed all 29 of them”
