Boko Haram has established a radio FM
station, according to a report monitored on the Hausa service of the Voice of
America yesterday.
Residents in Tolkomari, which is in the far northern part of Cameroon, have confirmed receiving broadcast messages from the sect via the radio station on 96.8 frequency modulation.
The VoA report said the station
broadcast mainly propaganda materials to counter media reports of victories by
troops from Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic against the Boko Haram
militants.
The report said the Cameroonian government is worried by the
new development and has commenced investigations towards locating the radio
station, which is said to be on the Nigeria-Cameroun border.
