Yaounde, Jan 2 (IANS) Eleven people were killed in Cameroon after suspected Boko Haram militants attacked a bus in Far-North Region bordering Nigeria, an army source said Friday.
All the victims of the Thursday’s attack were male and the attacked bus was taken away by the militants. “There were women in the bus but they were spared the ill fate,” the source told Xinhua over phone.
More than one dozen truck drivers were killed in Mora in Far-North Region of Cameroon by suspected Boko Haram militants Tuesday.
Boko Haram militants, who are active in the north of Cameroon, often attack on villages, pillage properties of the villagers and sometimes take foreign and local people as hostages.
The Cameroonian government has strengthened the military might by sending more troops in the north to fight against the militants since 2014.
