Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have stolen eight fishing boats from fishermen in Doron Baga, a community under Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The incident occurred on Saturday evening in Kaimo village, approximately four kilometers from Doron Baga town.
According to a local source who wished to remain anonymous, the terrorists, armed with sophisticated weapons and traveling in an undisclosed number of boats, including fighting canoes, stormed the village and assembled the fishermen.
'They arrived with weapons, threatening to cause a disturbance if we didn't give up our boats,' the source said.
He added that the terrorists then seized the eight boats and escaped via the river.
The source expressed a desperate need for government assistance, stating, 'We need the government to come to our aid because the only businesses we have currently are fishing and farming, but now we are in a panic as the bush is not safe.'
YERWA EXPRESS NEWS has earlier reported on the regrouping of Boko Haram terrorists along the shores of Lake Chad, specifically in Tumbun Alkali, Tumbun Barebari, Musarram, Shangaram, and Masharam, all within the Kukawa Local Government Area.
