Cameroon: Another senior military officer killed by Boko Haram landmine

A Cameroonian gendarmerie captain has been killed by a Boko Haram landmine in the Far North region. We gathered that Captain Ekoume was aboard a military vehicle when it hit a "landmine". Military sources say  he led an emergency mission to Gouzda- a town in the Mayo Moskota division. Captain Ekoume alongside other wounded comrades were rushed to the intensive care unit at the Koza Adventist Hospital where he died. 

Cameroon Concord was reliably informed at the time of filing this news brief that another senior gendarmerie officer, Captain Wadai was responding to treatment. The dead of Captain Ekoume brings the tally to three senior Cameroon servicemen killed by landmines in the Far North.
