Soldiers killed 27 Boko Haram insurgents and arrested 10 others in Northern Cameroon, the Commander of a Regional Army Force said on Thursday.
“A Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF) set up by Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Benin and Cameroon to fight Boko Haram across borders, ambushed a group of the terrorists on Wednesday, near the town of Fotokol.
“It is located close to the border with Nigeria.
“No soldiers were killed during the clashes, according to Dobekreo,’’ the MJTF Commander, Bouba Dobekreo said.
Boko Haram poses a steady threat to communities in the North-East and has also launched offensives in neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
The group’s goal is to enforce a strict interpretation of Islamic law, known as Sharia.
Since 2009, at least 14,000 people have died at the hands of the Sunni fundamentalists.
The court ruled that the assault took place while she was intoxicated.
