Kidnapped Teacher Flees From Separatists Captivity, Faces More Danger

A mathematics teacher of GBHS Bafoussam Rural Kena whose name we got as Aloysius Kwando Odi is said to be in double trouble.

The teacher who hails from Eshobi Village in Manyu Division, South West Region of Cameroon Was kidnapped sometime in late July by separatists fighters who are anti school resumption in the restive Anglophone Regions.

After spending days in the bush with separatist’s fighters, Aloysius Kwando Odi is reported to have disappeared from his kidnappers by yet to be understood means.

News of his Kidnap had spread like wildfire in the village and had attracted Military operatives to the matter.

When he was spotted in the village after his escape, the military also got wind of the information and launched a man hunt for him.

The reason for the manhunt according to security information is for him to take them to the hideouts of the separatist’s fighters since he had spent some days in their company.

Seeing that he is no longer safe from both ends of the crisis, the poor teacher is said to have cut short his stay in the village and moved back to his teaching base.

However, fellow teachers in Bafoussam recount that, there has been some strange visits around his house by security officers alleging that they are struggling to get him even in Bafoussam.

He was finally spotted in town on August 8 in the company of his friends who says after that, his whereabouts is not known.

It is not clear, if he is still in the city or like many other Anglophone youths in such a dilemma, may be taken refuge in nearby Nigeria waiting for peace to return to fatherland.

What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me. On the international stage, states don't have permanent friends. Friendship lasts for only as long as the other party is still relevant to the fulfilment of their interests. It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i

“Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the first case in Cameroon of which was reported by the Ministry of Health on March 6 2020.   To date, more than 800 cases have been reported in Cameroon despite the measures that were put in place by the governm ent. Key amongst these measures were recommendations on hygiene (handwashing and/or hand sanitizing) and social distancing aimed at limiting transmission. Other theories have been put forward as to how best to manage COVID-19, ranging from the use of pharmaceutical products like chloroquine to food supplements.   For any of these to merit any serious consideration, it is important to know how the body actually reacts to viral infections.   The human body generally has the appropriate mechanisms to defend itself against bacterial or viral (pathogen) attacks.    The first line of defense is generally through the physical barrier pro
