Another victim was identified as Eji Divine Oliarh while one of the corpses is yet to be identified.No reason has been advanced for the act described as barbaric by many.


“The atrocities are too much.All these children (15-30years) are very innocent.

Killing of harmless civilians have multiplied since the escalation of the Anglophone Separatist war in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon.

Government forces have since 2017 been battling armed separatists who want to create a breakaway state.


Government forces and armed separatists have repeatedly been accused by human rights oganisations of carrying out extra-judicial killings.
