Another Boko Haram attack in Cameroon's Far North killing ten
“A Boko Haram suicide bomber detonated himself in the
night at Djakana close to the Nigerian border, killing ten people,” a secured
source speaking on condition of anonymity told AFP.
The information was confirmed by another source close to
the authorities of the region.
“At the time, seven people died, including the bomber.
Four wounded people died later. The other injured people are at the hospital.
We fear a rise in the number of victims,” the source said.
She added that most of the victims were members of the
vigilante committee tasked to track down Boko Haram fighters.
“They were gathered in a video room when the suicide
bomber infiltrated and detonated his explosive device,” the source said.
No suicide bomb attack has been recorded in the Far North
region in recent weeks. According to Cameroonian authorities, close to 1200
people have been killed ever since Boko Haram started attacking the Far North
region in 2013.
The Boko Haram insurgency since 2009 has left 20,000
people dead and 2.3 million displaced.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
