The fishermen were said to be part of a larger group engaged in fishing activities under the control of ISWAP, where they were subject to levies and taxes.<\/p>\n
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, who made this known via a post on X, said
\nthe two fishermen incurred the wrath of the militants when they were found to have failed to pay their taxes.<\/p>\n
Zagazola also said the terrorists confiscated eight cartons of fish belonging to the fishermen.<\/p>\n
He added that the militants were forced to abandon two cartons due to space constraints, after loading the fish onto their canoe.<\/p>\n
However, the fishermen secretly retrieved the two abandoned cartons, leading to their arrest by ISWAP on charges of theft.<\/p>\n
Following their arrest, the leader of the militant group ordered that the men\u2019s hands be cut off in accordance with Sharia law.<\/p>\n
