According to the ministry, the insurgents attacked Glawi village, “killing four Nigerian refugees and wounding one Camerounian, before being pushed back by defence forces which pursued them until the borders”.
Two more Boko Haram groups entered Cameroon on the same day to launch separate attacks but were “immediately intercepted and neutralised by our defence forces who destroyed three 4×4 vehicles equipped with machine guns, killing 27 assailants”, it was added.
Last week the Cameroonian military claimed to have killed 107 insurgents in two areas of the country, which has become a common place of terrorists’ cross-border raids.
It would be recalled that only last week the Nigerian authorities and the dreaded sect allegedly concluded a ceasefire agreement. Two days after the news broke out, some communities of Borno State were rocked by the attacks, which was considered a breach of the agreement. This was followed by another set of kidnaps and by the ghastly explosion in Bauchi State.
P.M. News reports with reference to the statement by AFP that as a result of the Friday’s clash near Nigeria’s border, 4 civilians were also killed.
