Six people including four civilians
have been killed in fresh Boko Haram attack that took place in North Cameroon
according to AFP.
“Boko Haram appeared yesterday
(Thursday) around 1900 (1800 GMT) at Assighassia,” a police officer in the
region said on condition of anonymity. “There followed an engagement between
them and our soldiers. Two assailants were killed and one soldier was injured.”
Around two hours later, more Boko
Haram militants attacked the village of Ganse, also in the far north of
Cameroon, killing four.
“They shot three people and slit
the throat of another,” a local leader said.
“As soon as we heard shots fired,
we climbed the fence to flee into the brush,” he said. “The people killed were
buried (on Friday) morning and we are looking for ways to leave the village
because our security is no longer guaranteed.”
