Cameroon: Five new bodies of Boko Haram fighters discovered under Kerawa Bridge

Five new bodies of Boko Haram militants killed by the Cameroon army were discovered this morning under the Kerawa Bridge some 7 kilometres from the Kolofata district in the Mayo-Sava Division in the Far North by some inhabitants of the locality.

A military official whose name we are withholding told Cameroon Concord immediately after the discovery was made that the bodies were probably those of seriously wounded Boko Haram fighters who could not get to their base in neighbouring Nigeria.

It is vital to state in this report that after the battle of Kolofata, the Cameroon government placed the official death toll at 143 for the terrorists and a Cameroonian soldier. This new discovery takes the tally to a hundred and forty eight.
