3 Killed, 15 Kidnapped By Boko Haram In Cameroon

No fewer than three people were reportedly killed and 15 others kidnapped in a fresh cross-border attack by the dreaded Boko Haram sect in northern Cameroon, a security source said Tuesday, August 18.

The source who spoke on condition of anonymity said at least 20 armed men stormed the village of Greya in Cameroon on Monday afternoon and stole all the food stocks.

The source said: “Boko Haram militants killed at least three civilians and abducted a dozen others – presumably all Cameroonians.”

They also burned down the village’s primary school before departing, Punch reports.

The Cameroonian army were said to have arrived long after the terrorists had left as they were warned too late of the incident, due to the area’s poor communications infrastructure.
