President Paul Biya has ordered measures to restore security following a terrorist attack on Wednesday in Cameroon’s Northwest region which left at least 14 people killed, half of them children. The deadly attacks occurred in the village of Guidado.
Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique told public broadcaster CRTV that the attack took place in the morning, by a terrorist group against civilians resulted in the deaths of 14 people, among them one man, six women, and seven children aged two to 11
He added that fourteen people were evacuated to nearby hospitals in Ndu and Nkambe to receive first aid.
Sources reveal that Separatists seeking independence for the English speaking region part of Cameroon have frequently kidnapped or killed politicians, civil servants and teachers accused of collaborating with the government.
The government, however, maintains that Cameroon remains one united nation in both the English speaking region and the French speaking region.
