At least 20 Cameroonians have been slain in Southwest Cameroon by Ambazonian soldiers fighting for independence.
According to eyewitnesses in Nigeria's Boki village, Ambazonian soldiers crossed into the Nigerian hamlet near Bashu in the Boki LGA of Cross River State to attack their compatriots who fled and refused to join them in their war against the administration of President Paul Biya.
The incident was corroborated by Chief Cletus Obun, a former member of the Cross River House of Assembly and a House of Representatives hopeful for the Boki/Ikom federal seat.
