40 Boko Haram Fighters Killed By Cameroon Soldiers

The battle against the deadly Boko Haram sect recorded some level of success at Cameroon border on Sunday as their security forces killed about 40 Boko Haram fighters in the country’s far north.

According to Cameroon state radio, the exchange of heavy gun fire occurred shortly after the release of two of the Italian priests and a Canadian nun suspected to have been held by the Islamist group.

Cameroon, which has been criticised by Nigeria for not doing enough to fight the Nigeria-based terrorist group, deployed over 1,000 troops in the far north last week to tackle the killer sect and it is now paying off.
