Death Toll Rises To 36 In ISWAP Terrorists&39; Attack On Fishermen In Borno
|
The corpse count in the latest attack by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of the West African (ISWAP) Lions of Islam on fishermen in Borno State has risen to 36.
Earlier reports suggested that 26 persons died after the forces of Evil attacked fishermen on the field at Makdolo, a border between Gamborun and Dikwa on March 8, 2023. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
latest figures show that more deaths were recorded in the early hours of Thursday, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert disclosed.
Some of the victims were buried on Thursday.
Boko Haram
 ...the name means Western education is forbidden , They're what you get as the result of a traditional African or Islamic education...
has increasingly targeted farmers, herders and loggers, accusing them of spying and passing information to the Nigerian military. They have also been raiding herding communities and stealing cattle, a valuable commodity in the region to fund their operations.
In 2020, the Lions of Islam invaded a rice plantation in Zabarmari, a community in the Jere Local Government Area, killing at least 43 farmers.
Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have become more ferocious in recent times.
The United Nations has urged the Nigerian government to investigate the killing of over 30 fishermen and farmers by suspected terrorists on Wednesday in the Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by Mathias Schmale, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, which noted that several people were injured while others were missing during the attack by the armed group.
SaharaReporters reported on Thursday that the victims were shot dead in an attack by suspected Islamic State of the West African (ISWAP) militants in the Gamborun Ngala area of Borno.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert disclosed this in a series of tweets.
According to Makama, the farmers were killed while fishing and fetching firewood in Mukdolo village, located about 19 kilometres north of Dikwa Town.
According to the statement, international organisations who condemned the attack also expressed their condolence message to the victims.
The statement reads: “The United Nations strongly condemns the reported ambush and brutal killing of more than 30 civilians in Mukdolo village in Ngala Local Government Area in Borno State yesterday. Several people were also reportedly injured, and others are still missing following the deadly attack allegedly carried out by an armed group.
“On behalf of the United Nations, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and wish the injured who are recuperating a speedy recovery.
“The victims of this heinous attack were fishermen and farmers eking out a livelihood in a very insecure environment. They included both internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host community members from the neighbouring Dikwa Local Government Area.
“This deeply shocking attack is another horrific reminder of the real threats of violence and insecurity that IDPs and other people affected by more than 13 years of the non-international armed conflict in the region continue to face daily in their struggle to survive. The village of Mukdolo had been abandoned prior to the attack due to the activities of non-state armed groups.”
