The Islamists Boko Haram based in northern Nigeria have killed a Cameroonian mayor, raising fears about how far the sect members could stretch their wrath.

Mr. Abba Djidda Alahdji, third deputy mayor of Makary in Cameroon’s Far North Region, was killed because of his suspected ties with a Nigerian police commissioner, local tabloid, La Nouvelle Expression reported.

The mayor’s slaying on Nigerian soil followed a string of warnings from the sect, according to reports.

The sect, which wants to radically alter the current education system and impose Sharia law across Nigeria, had been keeping an eye on his friendship and constant visits to the police commissioner of a town in northern Nigeria.

An ongoing crackdown by Nigerian security forces on the group poses a major hindrance to its activities.

Boko Haram related violence has claimed over 2,800 lives in Nigeria since 2009, according to a recent Human Rights Watch report.

Across the border, Cameroon political and religious authorities have also been taking steps to guard against letting the country slip into chaos akin to Nigeria’s due to the sect’s activities.

The mayor, according to La Nouvelle Expression, was gunned down after prayers on October 5 by two men who trailed him to where he lived with one of his wives.

Nigerian intelligence officials believe Boko Haram planned some of its attacks from northern Cameroon, which it uses as a safe haven and a source of arms.

In February 2011, security forces in Nigeria’s Borno State uncovered a cache of weapons they said was smuggled into the territory from Cameroon.
Nigeria also shut its porous border with Cameroon after last year’s Christmas Day Bombings which killed over 35 people.

Muslim cleric and head of the Union of Cameroonian Imams, Sheik Ibrahim Mbombo Mubarak, said in August 2011 that Boko Haram had a growing Cameroonian following.

When almost 40% or more of the military are northerners, you think they are going to fold their hands and watch Cameroon savage their part of the country?

dumb question

Cameroon seems to be on Nigeria news pages alot these dayz. RIP to Mayor.

tpapi: ow many kontri has bh attacked

how many foreign nationals have they been suspected of killing? Do you remember the kidnapped briton and italian that died while security operatives were trying to rescue them?

they cant do anything because Nigeria as a nation will not supply them any ammunition to fight the Cameroonians.
note that.

Who is talking about war? Imagine Cameroun invading Nigeria, that's is impossible. There will be no war between Nigeria and Cameroun because of the mayor that was killed after all when they stole bakassi Nigeria didn't go to war with them

ignis: Are bokoharams trying to go international or wat?

They have always been international. Have you ever seen a militant or extremist group without international ties. The toughest ones to tackle always originate in inhospitable, unregulated border areas where they can throw of national authorities.

If Cameroon thought BH was a Nigerian problem and chose to pander to them for peace. They should only consider what Khan is doing in Stan.

This is a warning to all neighbouring countries of nigeria. They cannot sit at the fence. It either they are with us in this war against terror or they are against us. They have allowed their territories as a breeding ground for terrorists. Am deeply convinced that imam shekau is been granted a safe haven by these countries. It is high time they saw this problem as a collective one.

This is war cause the Cameroon will not accept this, what is wrong with this Boko Haram people, wetin dem want

So would Cameroon invade NIGERIA over this

Gbam!

Seem BH still have their leadership intact, every week we are inform of JTF killing one BH leader or another yet the sect leader seem unaffected.
Its either JTF has been telling us lies or they have been killing ghosts all along,few days ago JTF announced the arrest of a strong BH member in a senator's house yet nothing has since been heard of them or the sect members arrested in the last few months.
Something is not right with our govt,this BH is a bigger problem than we give them credit for.
