Intelligence sources told security analyst and counter insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, on Thursday, that they  asked them to lie down, tie their hands behind their backs before they started slaughtering  them.

The sources said the terrorists also abducted four other fishermen after accusing them of spying for the  ISWAP faction

The bodies of the fishermen  were later recovered during a search and rescue operation by troops and their colleagues who received the news from victims who fled the attack scene.
