Ambazonian insurgents shot and killed seven motorcyclists from the Bashu community in the Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State.
According to Chief Cletus Obun, a former member of the Cross River State House of Assembly, who provided updates on the Cameroonian militants' attack of the Boki LGA hamlet yesterday, they were shot dead early Monday morning.

According to him, the young men ride their motorcycles from Bashu to the border settlements to transport passengers from and to Nigeria.
"The lads were murdered by Ambazonian soldiers while riding their bikes to help transport fleeing Cameroonians, particularly elderly women, from the community where Ambazonian terrorists slaughtered at least 20 people yesterday for refusing to join them in fighting President Paul Biya's administration," he said.
Obun further stated that as of Monday morning, a steady stream of migrants was still pouring into Bashu, fleeing the killings in the Cameroonian hamlet.
"Their sheer numbers are already having an impact on a few facilities and creating a lot of environmental and humanitarian concerns," he said.
Meanwhile, while confirming the attack by Ambazonian militants and the deaths of 20 people, Deputy Leader of the Biafra National League (BnL), Ebuta Takon, issued a five-day ultimatum to Ambazonia authorities to apologise for the tragedy.
Meanwhile, according to sources, the BnL has closed Ekong Anaku and other border settlements in Akamkpa LGA in order to prevent Cameroonians from travelling through the route, and has threatened to coordinate an attack in Southern Cameroon in response to the invasion of Cross River.
"We're giving them five days," Takon stated, "only five days for their leaders to apologise to us and the Cross Riverians."
