Yaounde - Twelve people, including two Cameroonian soldiers, were killed on Thursday in a new attack by an armed gang in the oil rich west of the country close to the Nigerian border, the defence minister said.
Ten the assailants were killed and another eight taken prisoner, the minister Remy Ze Meka said in a statement.
The attack comes a few days after a Nigerian rebel group, the Niger Delta Defence and Security Council (NDDSC), claimed a series of similar attacks in the same Bakassi border region since last November.
