Cameroon has allegedly sentenced 89 members of Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram to death, local media report claims.
They were convicted on terror charges by a military court for their roles in several attacks .Cameroon passed an anti-terror law in 2014 which introduced the death sentence.
This is the first time the death sentenced has been used since that law was passed. The 89 are among 850 people arrested in Cameroon on charges of links to Boko Haram.
Following the death sentences, a local human rights group has called for reforms to Cameroon’s justice system.
What is wrong with this human right group? What of the innocent pple killed day in day out by BH? And why has Nigerian government not convicted any BH member all dis while? Everything 4 9ja na politics..
