Cameroon: Fresh Boko Haram attack has left two Gendarmarie officers dead

Two Cameroonian gendarmes were reportedly killed on Wednesday morning during an attack by the Boko haram insurgents in Sagmé in the Logone and Chari region of  northern Cameroon.

This attack comes barely two days after a previous deadly assault in which the insurgents  attacked an internally displaced persons’ camp in Nigeria, killing at least three persons and injuring seventeen others, just hours before attacking a military post in Cameroon on Monday morning.Two soldiers lost their lives in the  Monday attack as a military post in Gloudjan, in the Mayo-Sava department in the country’s far north, came under attack.

Cameroonian newspaper, L’Oeil du Sahel, first reported the attack.

Boko Haram has increased attacks in Nigeria and Cameroon in recent months, leaving many people dead and raising questions about claims by authorities in both countries that the terrorists had been defeated.
