World Cameroon kills two Boko Haram men by Joseph Anthony June 9, 2014 written by Joseph Anthony June 9, 2014 202 Two suspected Boko Haram militants have been killed in a botched attack on a town in Cameroon’s far north. They were killed by local security forces, who repelled the Boko Haram attack on Saturday. Nigeria had accused Cameroon of not doing enough to tackle Boko Haram, which grabbed global attention in April following the abduction of more than 200 girls from a school in Chibok, Borno State. The sect has also killed hundreds in the northeast since then. Cameroon recently deployed 1 000 troops to far north and the attack in the Mayo Tsanaga Division in the Far North Region is the latest in a series of clashes between its security forces and Boko Haram. The Cameroon government’s spokesperson, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, said a raid was carried out early on Saturday morning by 50 well-armed gunmen believed to be members of Boko Haram. “Our defence and security forces fought back immediately. [They] killed two of the assailants, seized one of their vehicles and a Kalashnikov war weapon, forcing them to run back crossing the border into the Nigerian territory,” he said. He did not say if any government troops were killed or wounded in the fighting. Nigeria’s head of counter-terrorism said last month that Cameroon was the weakest link in the regional fight against the group. Cameroon security forces killed 40 militants in fighting a week ago, shortly after reinforcements were sent to the far north. 0 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail Joseph Anthony previous post Islamic leaders, others hail choice of banker next post Evelle is Nigerian Idol 2014 You may also like Artemis II Returns Safely After Historic Human Mission...
