HUNDREDS of residents have fled Takum Local Government Area following the killing of 11 people, including a traditional ruler, by Ambazonian soldiers.

The soldiers attacked some border communities in Takum and also burnt many houses and schools.

The chairman of the local government, Shiban Tikari, said five bodies of those killed were recovered and several other persons are still missing.

He said soldiers from Takum were drafted to protect the border communities from both separatists and Cameroonian soldiers that have been attacking border communities in Kurmi and Takum local government area of the state.

Last month, it was gathered Cameroonian soldiers sacked three border communities in Kurmi local government of the state under the pretext of searching for Ambazonian separatists.
