Cameroon: ears cut off

Boko Haram terrorists cut off the ears of at least three Christian women after snatching them from their homes during a night-time raid on a mainly Christian town in the far north of Cameroon on 29 July.

The Islamist extremists broke into homes, grabbed the women and dragged them to the outskirts of Gagalari town in the district of Yagoua where they sliced off one ear from each victim, according to local sources.

They then reportedly released the women after threatening to return to the town, near the border with Chad, in the future. The injured women were taken to a clinic about 160 miles away where they received medical treatment.
