Boko Haram Islamists slit the throats of 10 fishermen in villages near Baga, on the shores of the Lake Chad in northeastern Nigeria, a leading fisherman and a resident said Thursday.
"On Monday around 4 pm (1500 GMT), Boko Haram attacked three villages on the shores of Lake Chad where they slaughtered 10 people, all of them fishermen," Abubakar Gamandi, head of the fishermen's union in Borno State, told AFP.
The account was confirmed by a local fisherman, Buhari Dan-Malam.
