Four Nigerians taking refuge in a village in the far north of Cameroon have been killed by members of Boko Haram in an attack that took place on Friday October 24th.
According to a statement made available today to AFP, the Cameroonian Ministry of Defense said the sect members attacked "the
village of Glawi, killing four Nigerian refugees and wounding one Cameroonian, before being pushed back by defense forces which pursued
them”.
The ministry also said two
groups of Boko Haram members had also tried to enter another border village with Nigeria but
they were “immediately intercepted and neutralized by our defense forces
who destroyed three 4×4 vehicles equipped with machine guns, killing 27
assailants,”.
