The government claimed to have killed over 100 Boko Haram fighters who were attempting to enter the country on Sept. 6 and repelled others back into the Nigerian town of Gamboru Ngala. Communication Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary said that two of the slain Boko Haram fighters were Tuaregs. Some schools in Cameroon near the Nigerian border have closed due to the threat of Boko Haram attacks.
