Nigerian authorities probe 'killing of 97 Nigerians' in Bakassi

The Nigerian parliament is investigating reports of 97 fishermen who have been killed in the Bakassi peninsula, which the country ceded to Cameroon. 

Reports say the killings happened last week when a Cameroonian paramilitary unit enforced a three hundred dollar fishing levy.

Nigeria's Interior Minister, Abdulrahman Dambazau has accused Cameroon of breaching an agreement to protect its citizens.

The Cameroonian government is yet to comment.
