Rights organizations in Burkina Faso claim that the army killed around 40 civilians in the region's north.
According to the Collective Against Immunity and Stigmatization of Communities, there have been numerous instances of kidnapping that were followed by executions by hanging.
According to the report, the victims' remains, which were bound and blindfolded, were discovered on the road between Taffogo and Bedroom.
The majority of the victims, according to the Observatory of Human Dignity, a different rights organization, were Fulani, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group of semi-nomadic herders.
The military of Burkina Faso has consistently refuted allegations of rights violations.
According to reports, the incident happened at the beginning of this month in the Tougouri village of Taffogo.
Burkina Faso's army has been fighting an insurgency of groups suspected to have links with al-Qaeda or the Islamic State group, that has claimed more than 2,000 lives and forced some 1.9 million people to leave their homes.
