Three killed and four injured in suicide bomb attack

At least three people have been killed and four others injured, after a suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden suicide vest in Kolofata, close to the Cameroon-Nigerian border in the far north. No group has claimed immediate responsibility for the attack, although Boko Haram are known to operate in these regions are frequently carry out suicide bombings.

Defer all non-essential travel to the Far North region and all areas that border with Nigeria, due to the credible threat of violence, kidnap and terrorism. If you do decide to travel, remain on high alert and consider contracting a reputable local guide and private security escorts. Monitor local media for additional security information.
