An attack by dreaded ISWAP terrorists at Mukdolo, a popular fishing community in Dikwa Local Government has left 33 people dead.

Residents in the town usually go to Mukdolo, which is located about 19 km away, to fish and fetch firewood.

A security source who was part of the rescue team confirmed to YERWA EXPRESS NEWS that 33 bodies were found so far in the community, while search is still ongoing.

Maidawaarewa cannot establish the exact number of victims yet, as well as whether some were abducted.

But we can report based on residents’ account that more than 100 people go to the village for fishing every day.

The attack appear to have been targeted at the fishermen but our reporter could not confirm why as at the time of filing this report.
