Two suspected female Boko Haram suicide bombers have killed three Nigerians in a truck full of refugees in a town in Cameroon’s far north region.
The first bomb went off during a security check and it is unclear if the second bomber had detonated her bomb or whether she had been killed first by Cameroonian forces.
Meanwhile in the Republic of Chad, the Government there has declared a state of emergency in the Lake Chad region after a series of raids and suicide bombings there by Boko Haram.
Chad’s Communications Minister, Hassan Sylla Bakari, said that the order, effective immediately, would grant authorities new powers to search and monitor residents in the region.
This is coming as Senegal says that it has arrested five people suspected of links to the sect.
A senior Justice Ministry official says that the five were arrested in October in the suburbs of Senegal’s capital, Dakar and the central town of Kaolak, more than 2,500 km (1,500 miles) Nigeria.
A judge has charged them with alleged relations with a terrorism organisation, financing of terrorism and money laundering, the official added.
