Cameroun - Extrême-Nord : Coopération Communautaire et Pression Sécuritaire Contre l'Insécurité

A crackdown in Boukoula thanks to citizen collaboration

A significant success was achieved this weekend in Boukoula , in the Far North Region, marking a victory for joint defense and security efforts. The operation was made possible thanks to the invaluable collaboration between the local community and the Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) .

The FMO conducted a large-scale overnight cordon which resulted in the arrest of several delinquent individuals , referred to locally as "rioters".

The operation was completed by a decisive search. Conducted based on information provided by customs officers , this search led to the recovery of:

  1. Several weapons of various calibers.
  2. Customs items that had been stolen during previous attacks targeting the Police and Customs posts in Boukoula.

Isolated incident in Gamboura: Attack on a joint checkpoint

Despite this success, an incident served as a reminder of the persistent insecurity. The night of Saturday to Sunday was marked by a targeted attack against the Gamboura Joint Checkpoint , located in the Mayo-Tsanaga Department.

The attackers managed to set fire to the facility.

Nevertheless, security vigilance remains active throughout the region. This Sunday morning, despite this isolated incident, the Far North is experiencing relative calm , demonstrating the determination of the security forces and the commitment of the population.
