Unidentified individuals abducted a female blogger and publicly executed her in northern Mali, her family and local officials said on Sunday, reports South China Morning Post (SCMP).

The execution was allegedly carried out by jihadists.

Mariam Cisse posted videos about the city of Tonka in the northern Timbuktu region and had 90,000 followers, but her abductors accused her of collaborating with the army.

“My sister was arrested [on] Thursday by the jihadists,” her brother explained, saying they had accused her of “informing the Malian army of their movements.”
