Fourteen Nigerian fishermen were reportedly killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Niger’s Diffa district.
The victims, who had fled violence in northeastern Nigeria, were ambushed on Sunday while fishing near Bosso, a location close to the Nigerian border.
Babakura Kolo, a leader of a vigilante group supporting Nigeria’s military, confirmed the killings, stating, “All 14 fishermen had their throats slit by Boko Haram terrorists who operate in the Bosso area close to the border.”
The fishermen, originally from the Nigerian towns of Malam Fatori and Doron Baga, were part of thousands of displaced persons seeking refuge in Niger Republic to escape repeated attacks by armed groups.
The Diffa region, bordering Nigeria and Chad, has witnessed an increase in attacks by Boko Haram and its splinter faction, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), over recent years.
