When we asked our crime they beat us and said its only after a month that they will tell us and our parents will pay money for our release. I want to talk the military for helping us". One of the freed captives said. 

Out of the 9, the separatist fighters had chopped off the ear of one, in the effort of forcing him to join them. As he refused, the separatists had numbered his days on earth, promising him that his head will be cut off and placed in the market squared.

A view of the stretch of road Bamenda - Babajou

Since the beginning of the crisis in the North West and South West Regions, the Bamenda - Santa - Babajou stretch of road have come under several attacks perpetrated by separatist fighters, the digging of the road, the burning of cars, destruction of heavy duty Cars and Materials use in the construction of the road and the kiling of civilians and Security forces has brought fear on the road. The Commander of the 5th Military Region Brigadier General NKA Valere has reassured the population of their safety while plying that stretch of road, however he called on the population to be vigilant and should report any suspected art on the road.

 Given that the road is now secured, a good number of drivers using the road says that the company incharge of the contruction should immediately resume works so as to give a new face to the road that connects the North west Region to other parts of the Country.
