Five leaders of dreaded sect, Boko Haram, have been arrested in Cameroon.
This was revealed by the Cameroonian government, which also said several women and children held captive by the Boko Haram insurgents have also been free.
According to available information, the Boko Haram leaders were arrested by the Multinational Joint Forces fighting Boko Haram.
The spokesman of the Cameroonian Government, Issa Tchiroma, said on Saturday that the raids targeted Boko Haram’s bases in the Madawaya forest earlier this month.
Tchiroma said 28 children and 18 women were freed during the clash between the military and the insurgents.
He said the camp where the insurgents were routed was set up after the Boko Haram elements fled another military operation in Nigeria.
He said the fighters had been training young girls and women as suicide bombers.
