In Diffa, Niger Republic, Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists executed at least 11 farmers, nine from Niger and two from Nigeria.
According to Reports, the Diffa region is near to the Lake Chad basin, a vital location where four nations’ borders intersect – Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria.
The event happened on Tuesday about 6 p.m., when thirteen farmers were on their way to chop down trees when they were intercepted by ISWAP militants. Eleven of the farmers were killed, with only two surviving.
ISWAP apparently issued a warning to all local farmers and fisherman to leave several of the islands in Marte, Abadam, and other regions of Niger before the deadly attack, accusing them of leaking information to security authorities about their hideouts.
Because many of the farmers who were killed were Muslims, they were buried.
