Boko Haram 'kill 70' In Cameroon Border Town Of Fotokol by Smartjeezy(m): 11:45pm On Feb 04, 2015
Boko Haram militants have reportedly killed at least 70 people in
an attack on the Cameroonian town of Fotokol, on the border with
Nigeria.
The Islamist militants attacked civilians in their homes and in the town's
mosque, local officials said, setting many buildings on fire.
The attack comes a day after a regional force said it had driven the
militants from a Nigerian town near Fotokol.
The Boko Haram insurgency has left thousands dead over the last six
years.
More than a million people have also been displaced by the militants,
who now control a large stretch of land in north-eastern Nigeria.
Chadian offensive
Residents of Fotokol interviewed by the AFP news agency said the
militants had killed many people by slitting their throats.
"Boko Haram inflicted so much damage here this morning," Umar
Babakalli, a resident of Fotokol, told the agency by telephone. "They
have killed dozens of people."
The town's main mosque is said to have been torched.
The militants were eventually driven back by Cameroonian troops,
backed by Chadian forces who had been deployed as part of a regional
force in the nearby Nigerian town of Gamboru.
On Tuesday, the Chadian army said it had killed more than 200
militants in the battle to recapture Gamboru. However, it added that
some of the militants had escaped its offensive.
Chadian troops have entered Nigeria and Cameroon to join the fight
against Boko Haram, following widespread criticism of the Nigerian
army's failure to curb the insurgency.
