Thirty two people have been killed and 66 others injured in a suicide bomb attack in a town in northern Cameroon on Monday.
Boko Haram has been blamed for what has been dubbed the worst attack on the Central African nation. However, the extremist group has not claimed the attack.
According to reports, four explosions struck a busy market, as well as entrances to the town of Bodo at around 10 a.m.
Bodo borders the Islamist insurgency’s strongholds in northeastern Nigeria.
It was reported that the death toll is expected to rise, as those injured in the attacks are in a serious condition, and may deteriorate.
“The Harmattan has been blowing for three days. … The vigilance committees weren’t able to see the suicide bombers, who entered the village in the middle of the night,”a local official said under the promise of anonymity.
