The dead were mercilessly murdered by the militants of the terrorist Islamist group inside their own homes and at a mosque.
This raid has come amid a major offensive launched by Cameroon and its neighboring African states against Boko Haram, which has killed thousands and kidnapped hundreds in Nigeria and has also started to mount raids across the borders.
The militants had gained entry into Fotokol through Gambaru early in the morning and massacred people in the mosque, in the houses and also set fire to properties – this has been revealed by the civic leader Abatchou Abatcha, whose own son was shot dead during the raid.
The information minister of Cameroon Issa Tchiroma has clarified that the Cameroon army had pushed Boko Haram out of the border town following heavy fighting in which at least 50 militants were killed apart from six of its own soldiers.
The Sunni Muslim jihadist group is obviously a major security threat to Nigeria which is Africa's biggest economy and top oil producer. The African Union has, last week, authorized a regional force of 7,500 troops to fight the militants. Simultaneously, in neighboring Chad, the state television has reported that its army had destroyed Boko Haram bases at Gambaru and Ngala in northern Nigeria killing over 200 militants with nine Chad losses.
