Boko Haram Landmine Kills Snr. Military Officer In Cameroon

A Cameroonian gendarmerie captain has been killed Sunday by a Boko Haram landmine in the Far North region, Daily Correspondents has learnt.

It was gathered that Captain Ekoume was aboard a military vehicle when it hit a roadside bomb believed to be a planted "landmine".

Military sources say he led an emergency mission to Gouzda- a town in the Mayo Moskota division until he was unlucky this afternoon.

Captain Ekoume alongside other wounded comrades were rushed to the intensive care unit at the Koza Adventist Hospital where he died.

It was reliably gathered at the time of filing this report that another senior gendarmerie officer, Captain Wadai was responding to treatment.

The dead of Captain Ekoume brings the tally to three senior Cameroon servicemen killed by landmines in the Far North.
