Government raids kill 143 Boko Haram fighters in Kolofata, Cameroon.

The January 2015 raid on Kolofata was an unsuccessful assault on a Cameroonian military base at Kolofata, Far North Region, perpetrated by Boko Haram. The incident occurred on 12 January 2015 coming shortly after another Boko Haram incursion onto Cameroonian soil.

Boko Haram, officially known as Jama'at Ahl al-Sunna li al-Da'wa wa al-Jihad, is a self-proclaimed jihadist militant group based in northeastern Nigeria and also active in Chad, Niger, northern Cameroon, and Mali. In 2016, the group split, resulting in the emergence of a hostile faction known as the Islamic State's West Africa Province.

Kolofata is a town and commune in Cameroon.
