According to a report monitored on the Hausa service of the
Voice of America, the Islamist sect, Boko Haram has established an FM radio
station.
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 Voice of America 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-Cameroon border.
