Two police officers killed by Amba boys in NW

Two members of Cameroon’s defence and security forces were reportedly killed on Friday in separate attacks by the separatist fighters.

Police constable Essomba was shot dead as he and colleagues dismantled a road block along the Bamenda – Santa road.

They had been escorting buses leaving the town of Bamenda.

Another officer, Private Biloa was shot along the Bali Bamenda high way, sources have confirmed.

Their vehicle approached a barricade which had been mounted by suspected separatist fighters. The latter have been waging a campaign for a break away state called Ambazonian which was declared independent on October 1, 2017.
