Boko Haram bombers have hit Cameroon again, just some few days after they attacked a camp for Internally Displaced Persons in Yola, and a park in Madagali in Adamawa state in Nigeria.
At least seven people were killed in the two bomb attacks on Sunday in the northern Cameroon town of Kolofata, according to government officials.
In the first explosion near a well, at least three persons were killed. And four persons died in the second bomb near a church, according to the local deputy prefect.
“According to the information I have, there were seven killed in two attacks in Kolofata,” Communication Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary said today.
Kolofata lies close to the border with northeast Nigeria and has repeatedly been the target of attacks by Boko Haram.
Cameroon is a major contributor to a regional force expected to start operations against the Islamist group this year.
