A Cameroonian military official said Boko Haram militants kidnapped three women in the Far North Region, which borders Nigeria’s conflict-wrought Borno state.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Idris Ibrahim, said the police couldn’t have avoided killing several of the sect’s members because of the violent approach that was employed during their protest.
A fresh clash between policemen and some protesting Shi’ites in Kano has left as many as nine persons, including women, children and a policeman, dead.
