ISLAMISTS KILL CAMEROON CHRISTIAN WOMAN AND TEENAGER
Islamic militants have
killed a woman and a 16-year-old boy in a mainly Christian village in northern
Cameroon, Christian rights investigators confirmed Tuesday, June 19.
Fighters of terror group Boko
Haram reportedly murdered them while attacking Grossi village as part of their
violent campaign against local Christians that have forced thousands to
flee. “The boy was kidnapped and later killed. The woman was murdered in the
bush, as she collected grass for her sheep,” said advocacy and aid group
Barnabas Fund which works in the region.
Christians said the murders took
place in and near Grossi village, which is often targeted by Boko Haram. Some
eight homes were also set on fire by the Islamists during the latest raid, said
a Barnabas Fund contact.
“We need your prayer because it
is not easy,” he added in remarks sent to BosNewsLife. The contact wasn’t
identified amid security concerns. More details about the woman and boy
were not immediately available.
