Authorities in Yaoundè, who initially dismissed footage of the killings as fake news, now says seven soldiers have been arrested.

The BBC Africa Eye team’s being congratulated for its sleuthing work that identified the killers.

It remains to be seen whether the men, who killed two woman and their children – one of them a baby tied to its mother’s back – will be brought to book in Cameroon.

The footage, too gruesome to be shown on You Tube shows the victims  being shot 22 times because the women were suspected to being Boko Haram sympathizers.

The television team used satellite and other cutting edge technology to ascertain where and when the killing occurred. 

Informants named the assassins.

The human rights watchdog Cameroon’s military and police of torturing hundreds of Boko Haram sympathizers in secret chambers.

Dozens of testimonies, as well as satellite imagery, photographs and videos add up to a pattern of terrible violence against people accused of supporting Boko Haram.

Amnesty International says it amounts to war crimes.

Photographs showed American military personnel visiting one notorious site, raising the possibility that they were there while torture was being carried out. Men and women described being beaten with electrical cables, chains, batons, planks of wood studded with nails, being permanently chained up, hit on the soles of their feet with machetes and, in the case of one Muslim, being forced to eat pork.
