Cameroon Military Seizes, Destroys Illegal Guns in North

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   GAROUA, CAMEROON - Cameroon's military has arrested several dozen men
   and destroyed hundreds of locally made guns and weapons the men
   allegedly circulated on the central African state's northern border
   with Chad and Nigeria.

   A military compactor crushes more than 2,500 locally made guns,
   ammunition and other weapons the military says it seized over the past
   three weeks from smugglers, hostage takers, poachers and suspected Boko
   Haram fighters.

   Among those watching the destruction is Regine Esseneme, head of
   Cameroon's department of justice in the northern town of Garoua.
