Cameroon: Boko Haram suspected as twin suicide bombing kills four

twin-suicide attack in Cameroon on Monday evening left at least four persons dead and many injured, a newspaper has reported, a continuation of a reign of terror which started in Nigeria in 2009 and expanded to Cameroon in 2014.

Reliable Cameroonian newspaper, L’Oeil du Sahel, said the suicide attacks occurred in the locality of Homaka in the country’s far north.

The newspaper said at least four dead were counted while there were many people injured.

Boko Haram has been wreaking havoc in Cameroon and Nigeria in recent months, killing many, displacing thousands and kidnapping children to turn them into suicide bombers and women into sex slaves.

In more than 500 gun and bomb attacks, Boko Haram has killed more than two thousand civilians in Cameroon since 2014 and displaced hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of soldiers and policemen have also been murdered.
