89 boko haram members sentenced death cameroon

According to reports, a court in Cameroon has sentenced 89 Boko Haram members to death by firing squad for their involvement in terrorist activities and attacks in the country.

The sentences were handed down by the Special Criminal Court in Yaoundé, Cameroon's capital, after a trial that lasted several months. The defendants were accused of being members of the Nigerian-based terrorist group Boko Haram, which has been responsible for numerous attacks and kidnappings in Cameroon and other parts of West and Central Africa.

The court found the defendants guilty of crimes including murder, kidnapping, and terrorism, and sentenced them to death by firing squad. The sentences are subject to appeal, but if upheld, they would be carried out in Cameroon.

This is a significant development in the fight against terrorism in the region, and it sends a strong message to Boko Haram and other terrorist groups that they will be held accountable for their actions.

It's worth noting that Cameroon has been a key partner in the fight against Boko Haram, and has suffered significant losses as a result of the group's attacks. The country has also been working closely with other regional countries and international partners to combat the threat posed by Boko Haram.
