– The troops killed 27 terrorists while 7
soldiers had various degrees injury
Emerging reports suggests that a bloody
clash which took place in Goshi town has led
to the death of 27 jihadist.
The Associated Press reports that Cameroon
soldiers killed at least 27 Boko Haram
fighters after launching a cross-border
operation in the Nigerian locality of Goshi
that also resulted in the death of one soldier,
a senior military official said.
At least seven other soldiers were injured in
the operation early Thursday, said Gen
Jacob Kodji.
Kodji said the Nigerian Islamic extremist
group launched a series of attacks in
Cameroon earlier this week.
“At least 27 Boko Haram fighters were killed in
Thursday morning’s operation,” said the
commander of Cameroon troops in the area.
The soldiers remain on the battle front there,
he added.
Ashigashiya straddles the order of northern
Cameroon and Nigeria. Regional forces from
both countries have since December 2015
been launching raids on Boko Haram
strongholds along their boarders.
It will be recalled that six people were killed
in Cameroon on Wednesday, February 10,
following a double suicide attack in the
village of Nguetchewe, which lies close to
the border.
