However, later in the evening, the wife and his children were released, while the police officer was executed by the terrorists.
Meanwhile, atleast twenty-seven (27) fishermen were slaughtered and three (3) others abducted by suspected members of ISWAP terrorists group at the fringes of Lake Chad in the border between Cameroon- Nigeria.

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