Boko Haram kills 3 Cameroon soldiers including scores of civilians

At least three Cameroonian soldiers  and scores of civilians have been killed this morning in an attack on Fotokol by the Nigerian Islamic sect Boko Haram. Our military informant reported that Fotokol is now under the complete control of the anti Boko Haram coalition forces. We have also been reliably informed that the three Cameroonian soldiers killed today served with the Motorized Infantry Battalion and the Rapid Intervention Battalion. A Cameroonian journalist covering the crisis says Boko Haram slaughtered people in mosques, homes and on the streets of Fotokol. At the time of writing this report, scores of bodies including those of Boko Haram fighters littered the streets of Fotokol.

Cameroon Concord has learnt from one of the Cameroon military commanders that Boko Haram seems to have received reinforcements from Libyan, Malian and Sudanese mercenaries confirming our earlier position that it is a well coordinated movement with backing from the West. Today’s attack on Fotokol was launched during prayer hours that eventually took the combined Cameroon and Chadian forces operating in the area by surprise. Our reporters in Yaoundé, the nation’s capital will be bringing to our readers the official death toll as soon as it is made public by the Cameroon government.
