‘B’Haram bombers’ kill 3 Nigerians in Cameroon
Two female suicide bombers, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect, have killed three Nigerians in a truck full of refugees in a town in Cameroon’s far north region, a local government source, said.
Military sources had earlier said they suspected the bombers’ target was a nearby mosque in Fotokol.
The first bomb went off during a security check and it was unclear if the second bomber had detonated her bomb or whether she had been killed first by Cameroonian forces.
Boko Haram insurgents have waged a six-year campaign of violence, killing thousands of people and displacing many from their communities in north-eastern Nigeria.
Neighbouring countries, including Cameroon, joined forces against the group in 2014, as its offensive spread beyond Nigeria’s borders.
