NO fewer than 27 fishermen were slaughtered and three others abducted by suspected members of Jama'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihad, a.k.a Boko Haram terrorists group at the fringes of Lake Chad in the border between  Cameroon and Nigeria. 

The incident took place last Sunday (few days ago), as it was gathered that the terrorists  suspected to be from the Buduma faction of Abou Ummaymah, attacked a local fishing community harboring most fishermen from Nigeria at Kofiya Island near Darak  in the Republic of Cameroon.

Reliable Sources informed that the Boko Haram Terrorists asked  the fishermen to lie down, tied their hands behind their backs before they started slaughtering  them without confrontation. 

The sources said the terrorists also abducted four other fishermen after accusing them of spying for the  ISWAP factional group.

In a related development, the Islamic State of the West African Province(ISWAP) has executed a police officer abducted along the  Damboa - Biu Road in Borno State.

Sources reliably informed that on Sunday  April 7,this year, at about 1000hrs, the  police officer with wife and children, were on transit from Damboa to Biu for Eid break but unfortunately went through a banned route. 

It was later reported that the deceased and his family were abducted by suspected ISWAP operatives around Shokotoko general area located approximately 73/km south of Damboa.

However, later in the evening, the wife and his children were released, while the police officer was executed by the terrorists.
