No fewer than 480 Nigerian soldiers have fled into Cameroon as the Boko
Haram terrorist group engaged them in heavy fighting. The Cameroonian
Army spokesman, Lt. Col Didier Badjek who confirmed that the soldiers
fled into Cameroonian territory stated that they have since been
disarmed and are presently being accommodated in schools.
The terrorist group has continually clashed with security forces around
the Cameroonian border. As of the time of filing this report, fighting
was reportedly going on in Gamboru Ngala, a border town.
Meanwhile, the Boko Haram group released a video on Sunday, in which its
leader claimed an Islamic caliphate has been established in territories
they have captured.
The spokesman of the Nigerian military, Brig Gen Chris Olukolade had earlier stated that some soldiers had deserted. (thestreetjournal)
