At least 12 people have been murdered in a suicide bomb attack in a mosque in northern Cameroon.
The attack which occurred in the early hours of Wednesday has been linked to the deadly militant group Boko Haram which has its roots in Nigeria.
According to Cameroon officials, the attack took place at 5:40am in a mosque at Kouyape. Thirteen people have been confirmed dead, including the suicide bomber who was identified as a man.
Since the group commenced its campaign of violence in 2009, about 20,000 people have been killed while more than 2 million have been displaced from their homes.
