Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has condemned the killing of seven children in mass shooting at a private school in a restive area of the Anglophone region.

The president termed Saturday’s shooting as a barbaric and cowardly crime against innocent children.

He said he had instructed security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of these despicable acts are apprehended by defense and security forces and brought to justice.

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, urged the authorities to investigate the attack and ensure those responsible are held accountable.
