Boko Haram Kidnaps Bus Passengers

Suspected militants from Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram have hijacked a bus in northern Cameroon, abducting at least 20 people, residents say.

Militants reportedly seized a bus carrying market-goers and drove it toward the border with NIGERIA.

Some reports put the total number kidnapped in Cameroon as high as 30.

Boko Haram has escalated its attacks outside Nigeria in recent weeks, targeting neighbouring Cameroon and NIGER.

The insurgency has forced a postponement of Nigeria’s presidential and parliamentary elections from 14 February to 28 March.

The bus was seized near the border area of Koza and driven towards the Nigerian border 18km (11 miles) away, a resident told the Associated Press news agency.

It will be recalled that the dreaded Boko Haram sect has released another video mocking the recent regional alliance by Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and NIGER to successfully defeat the terrorist group.

The sect released THREE different videos on Sunday, February 8, Daily Trust reports.
