Abuja: Influential Ambazonian leader, 9 others to be released soon
The Interim Head of State of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia was reportedly arrested by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS). The Leader of the Indigenous People of British Southern Cameroons was arrested in Abuja including 7 members of his cabinet.
Cameroon Intelligence Report sources in the Nigerian capital say the 7 included Dr. Nfor Ngala Nfor, Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC), Dr. Fidelis Nde Che, Dr. Henry Kimeng, Prof. Awasum, Dr. Cornelius Kwanga, Mr. Tassang Wilfred, Barrister Eyambe Elias, Dr. Ojong Okongho and Barrister Nalowa Bih.
Late last night, the Buhari administration auditioned the Ambazonian leadership over the 39 Southern Cameroonians who were arrested alongside Niger Delta militants and the use of Nigerian territory to stage attacks deep inside Cameroon.
President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe provided a detailed plan of action from the Interim Government and informed the DSS authorities that the people of Ambazonia were not waging a war against La Republique du Cameroun.
We gathered that in a soul-searching presentation, Sisiku Ayuk Tabe opined that the Manyu freedom fighters were simply defending themselves following the numerous Cameroon armed forces onslaughts in Southern Cameroons.
The Buhari administration ordered the arrest following the reckless activities of a certain Cho Ayaba and a group of misguided youth who were taken into custody at Taraba in Nigeria. Our correspondent in Abuja hinted that the Ambazonian leadership will be released soonest.
