Suspected Boko Haram terrorists kill 11 and kidnap eight in Cameroon village

‘At least 11 people have been killed and eight more kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram terrorists in an overnight attack on a village in northern Cameroon near the Nigerian border.
The assailants burned down more than 30 houses in Gakara village, just outside the town of Kolofata, which has been a frequent target of self-detonated bombings by the Nigeria-based terrorist group.
“The attack happened around midnight. The Boko Haram assailants arrived. They set 32 houses on fire… killed, pillaged, and traumatized the population,” said a district official on Friday as quoted in a Reuters report, adding that he wished to remain anonymous since he was not authorized to speak.
He added that many people in the targeted village had fled the area for a camp near Kolofata, which houses thousands of people displaced by the Boko Haram campaign.’
