Tuesday 10 Feb 2015 - 10:29 Makkah mean time-21-4-1436  Nigeria's Boko Haram 'kidnaps 20' in Cameroon bus hijacking Northern Cameroon, (IINA) - Suspected militants Boko Haram have hijacked a bus in northern Cameroon, abducting at least 20 people, residents say, BBC reported.
The bus was seized near the border area of Koza and driven towards the Nigerian border 18km (11 miles) away, a resident told the Associated Press news agency.
In an apparently related incident, several Boko Haram fighters were killed and around 10 Cameroonian soldiers injured as the militants attacked Kerawa, a local journalist told the BBC.
The attacks in Cameroon follow a series of assaults on the border towns of Bosso and Diffa in Niger.
Boko Haram militants targeted a prison in Diffa on Monday but were repelled by soldiers from Niger and Chad.
On Saturday, Nigeria and the governments of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin agreed to establish a force of 8,700 troops, police and civilians to fight the group.
