A bombing took place in Magdeme in the country’s far north, not that far from the border Cameroon shares with Nigeria.

The bombing which fortunately did not claim any other lives but that of the bomber suggests that the Boko Haram insurgency is not only affecting Nigeria, but is affecting other countries.

L’Oeil du Sahel, a Cameroonian newspaper, on its Facebook page also reported that two bombers who came from Nigeria were neutralized yesterday, March 6, night at Boudoua (Limani) by soldiers of the sector N01 of the multinational force.

The newspaper which is known for reporting Boko Haram attacks in the country said that the attack came only two days after a Cameroonian soldier who was in a joint military patrol with the Nigerian army died in the Borno state locality of Kumshe.
