Oh My
God....At least 11 people have been killed in Northern Cameroon by a Boko Haram
suicide bomber, a provincial governor said Thursday, warning civilians not to
breach special security measures aimed at preventing such attacks.
It was
the latest in a spate of raids blamed on the Nigeria-based Islamist militant
group in the area, which have driven tens of thousands of people from their
homes.

“Seven
people were killed immediately, including the bomber,” the source said, adding
that most of the victims were members of a local vigilante group tasked with
hunting down Boko Haram fighters. They were gathered in a video room when the
attacker entered and triggered his explosives,” the security source said.

Bakari, the governor of the region, told AFP that 11 people had died and four
had been wounded.
Bakari
slammed “the imprudence of the youths running the video club,” adding: “While
such activities are forbidden, they take risks in showing films at night in the
bush…
“We are
asking on the local population to wait until we give the go-ahead for the
resumption of such activities, especially on the frontline,” he said, referring
to security measures put in place in the area in the wake of Boko Haram raids.
