Some unidentified arm robbers mounted a barricade on the
night of Friday August 8 2014 just two kilometers away from a Gendarme Check
point at Takija on the road to Nkambe from Kumbo. Passenger vehicles plying the
road on that faithful night were way laid and ransacked money, phones and other
belongings were stolen.
Interestingly these angels of darkness mounted their
barricade just where an arm robber was killed and buried last year. The thieves
forced a driver of one of the vehicles to off load the passengers after looting
from them, transported the arm robbers to about few meters to the check point
where they stopped the vehicle and dashed in to the bush and disappeared.
For a while now since the introduction of the rapid
intervention unit of the military BIR, travelers on the Bamenda/Nkambe road
have had some peace from the “coupe de route” armed robbers. With the recent
development on the road the bad guys are back in full blown business. There is
need for the BIR to re-launch rigorous surveillance patrol on that road to
track down these enemies of peace.
