Eight people were killed and around 20 wounded in a suspected suicide bombing by Boko Haram on Friday in Cameroon’s Far North region, local officials said.

The attack was carried out in Kolofata, which has been attacked in the past.

The suicide bombing came nine days after another in Waza, in which three people were killed, excluding the three bombers.

Last week, Cameroon’s army said it killed 100 members of the group and freed 900 hostages.
