The Cameroon bus attack occurred on January 1, 2015, when Boko Haram militants hijacked a bus near Koza, Cameroon.[1]

The vehicle was travelling between Kousseri and Maroua in the Far North province of Cameroon, but the hijackers chose to drive it to the Nigerian border instead.[1] Between 15 and 25 people were killed in the attack, and at least 10 were wounded.[2]
