A suicide bomber apparently targeting a religious site on Christmas day killed two civilians in northern Cameroon, a region often hit by Boko Haram jihadists from Nigeria, the local governor said Sunday.
"The suicide plane was positively focusing on a religious site, yet we can't state precisely which one. It's Christmas day and there are supplications" being said all over the place, Midjiyawa Bakari, legislative leader of the Far North district of Cameroon, told AFP.
"We have two passings reported at the site, the suicide plane and an individual from a security board of trustees, and a third individual kicked the bucket at healing center," he said, alluding to a 19-year-old understudy.
The senator included that there were likewise five others injured and hospitalized yet their condition was not life-undermining.
Police have encompassed a Christian church in the town of Mora which has been secured by warriors, a Christian educator there who asked for secrecy told AFP. The area is home to Christians, Muslims and animists.
Northern Cameroon, circumscribing Nigeria and Chad, has been much of the time focused by Boko Haram Islamists who have pursued a revolt in northern Nigeria since 2009.
The Cameroonian armed force has joined a local hostile to end Boko Haram's fierce revolt that has left no less than 20,000 individuals dead and somewhere in the range of 2.6 million uprooted.
