Boko Haram Suicide Bomber Kills 11 In Cameroon
Category: Boko Haram News
At least 11 people has been killed in northern Cameroon by a Boko Haram
suicide bomber, a provincial governor said Thursday, warning civilians
not to breach special security measures aimed at preventing such
attacks.
It was the latest in a spate of raids blamed on the Nigeria-based
Islamist militant group in the area, which have driven tens of thousands
of people from their homes.
A security source said the attacker blew himself up in the town of Djakana near the Nigerian border overnight.
“Seven people were killed immediately, including the bomber,” the source
said, adding that most of the victims were members of a local vigilante
group tasked with hunting down Boko Haram fighters.
“They were gathered in a video room when the attacker entered and triggered his explosives,” the security source said.
Midjiyawa Bakari, the governor of the region, told AFP that 11 people had died and four had been wounded.
Bakari slammed “the imprudence of the youths running the video club,”
adding: “While such activities are forbidden, they take risks in showing
films at night in the bush…
“We are asking on the local population to wait until we give the
go-ahead for the resumption of such activities, especially on the
frontline,” he said, referring to security measures put in place in the
area in the wake of Boko Haram raids.
