The governor of far north region of Cameroon,
Midjiyawa Bakari has banned the use of Burqa, a
face covering apparel worn by Muslim women.
The Governor said the ban is as a result of last
Sunday's suicide attack carried out by two
women wearing Burqa.
Announcing the decision yesterday July 15th, the
governor said
“I took this measure because of the security
situation prevailing in the region. No one
suspected them and that is why we have
ordered women to stop wearing veils and the
police and military to arrest all women
wearing veils,” he said.
Last month, Chad banned the use of full-face
Muslim veil throughout the country due to
increased female suicide bombing attack.
