(Business in Cameroon) - About 3000 packets of Indian hemp and opioids intended for Nigeria. This is the discovery made by Cameroonian customs officials, during an inspection at the Fotokol post, an area in the region of the Far North of Cameroon, bordering the most populated country in Africa.

Hidden in containers, bags and other boxes, this load of narcotic products, weighing around 200 Kg, according to media sources, was probably intended to supply members of the Nigerian Islamic Sect Boko Haram, the Cameroonian customs officials speculate.

Indeed, drugs are one of the primary products used by the members of this sect, during their suicide attacks, in Nigeria as well as in Cameroon. These drugs are generally given to the youth enrolled by Boko Haram, in order to boost their courage for the purposes of armed attacks or suicide bombings.
