Michael S. Hoza, US Ambassador to Cameroon in a press release, has put a 7 million dollar price on the head of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Nigerian Islamic sect Boko Haram.

According to local media report in Cameroon, the American diplomat explained that a price on the head of Abubakar Shekau is justified.

The boss of the US diplomatic mission in Cameroon also added that the Nigerian Islamic sect has become synonymous with global terrorism, Islamic fanatism and barbarism.

Ambassador Hoza further observed that apart from the physical manifestation of violence, the Nigerian jihadists also encourage moral violence.
