Alleged Separatist Fighters Storm Kajifu, Kill One, Injure Many

 

By Ojong Josph Ojong

A  young man whose  only name we got  as Njaka was killed  on the early  hours of  Saturday  the 11th day of February  at kajifu village  in Akwaya  Sub division  Manyu Division  south  west region of Cameroon.

Reports from Kajifu hold that alleged separatist fighters stormed the locality of Kajifu and took the community members hostage.

Armed with guns , the Alleged  separatist  fighters  engaged  in torturing  the  villagers  some  seriously  injured while others left with life threatening  injuries.

It's unclear how the lone person was killed but a family sources say he was already heading to his farm before the incident happened.

 His body was later discovered by villagers escaping the horror of the alleged separatist fighters.

The chief of Kajifu 1 Chief Mbua and some of his closed aids were ferried to an undisclosed location.

At the time of this report nothing has been heard of them as Community members are now taking refuge in the bushes as no village around there is safe.

This is not an isolated incident happening in kajifu village.

Sometime in the month of May last year 2022, alleged separatist fighters   stormed Kajifu village, ceased all the motorbikes and barred community members from leaving the village for duration of 3days of which this reporter was a victim.

Kajifu village is one of the villages that make up the Boki clan in Akwaya subdivision of Manyu Division South West Region of Cameroon.

Just like the many villages in Akwaya  Sub division  its very enclave with  poor road network ,no good drinking water and has a health  center  which  has long been abandoned  due to threats  from separatist fighters.

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 ...
