10 people killed by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in Cameroon.

Suspected Boko Haram members killed at least 10 villagers in Northern Cameroon on Sunday night.

The Army and local officials said it was a reprisal attack on the Cameroon’s army.

Naija News gathered that an army source said the attackers came to the village of Gouderi at 11 pm on Sunday and killed 11 people.

He said, “It looks like revenge because the army killed Boko Haram members in this village and forced others to retreat to Nigeria.”
