Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, fighters have reportedly killed no fewer than 15 fishermen and left many others wounded.<\/p>\n

Daily Trust reports that the incident happened in the Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the attack occurred on Sunday around 10:40 pm, when the fishermen were preparing for night fishing at the Tumbun Rogo Kangarwa Ward in Kukawa LGA on the fringes of Lake Chad.<\/p>\n

A source narrated that the ISWAP fighters stormed the area and rounded up the fishermen, arranging them before opening fire on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came and opened fire on our people, 15 people were killed, while others, who managed to escape, sustained varying degrees of injury and are currently receiving treatment at Cross Kauwa,\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n

Another source also told the paper that ISWAP often targets fishermen when their logistics are blocked by the military and then steal from them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have buried 15 persons according to Islamic rite on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey carted away all our smoked fish. Even many of our people are still missing, we have searched the nearby bushes and we haven\u2019t found them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis incident has left us (fishing community) in a state of shock. This is the third time they attacked us. We urge the authorities to take action to ensure our security and safety,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

About 9 fishermen were killed in a previous attack by terrorists who searched the dead bodies for valuables.<\/p>\n
