Cameroonian soldiers kill many terrorists in Borno

Cameroonian soldiers in Borno State have launched an attack on Boko Haram terrorists killing many of them, according to military sources.

The troops took action against the terrorists after residents reported that the Boko Haram members had gathered in the hills around the village and were planning an attack.

According to Colonel Jacob Kodji, Ndaba is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Cameroonian border.

Cameroon has deployed soldiers to Nigeria as part of a multinational force which also involves troops from Chad and Niger.
