North West Governor,
Adolphe Lele L’Afrique has called on all owners of guns to declare
them for authorization by the Senior Divisional Officers. Failure to
carry out this exercise which is in keeping with the law on possession
of firearms, such persons if caught would be triad under the newly crafted
law on anti-terrorism. The Chief executive equally announced that unlike
before any such person would be tried in the newly created military
tribunal in Bamenda.
Speaking in Boyo Division
during his economic tour combing all nooks and crannies to abreast self
and the State of Cameroon of the situation on the ground. The visit
by the Chief executive officer accompanied by a hug entourage of collaborators
braved it to Fonfuka and Konene the chief towns of Bum Sub-Division
plying the rugged hilly terrain on roads one can conveniently described
as cow foot path but for the ongoing constructed road work from Fundong
to Fonfuka to pass through Konene. In the days ahead the people of this
locality would no longer have to pass through four Divisions to get
to Fundong. The rich natural resources of the area would be exploited
especially in the agricultural sector to fullest given the easy access
goods from farms to markets.
Commenting on the guns
threatening incident that occurred during a visit of the two SDOs from
Boyo and Donga Mantung to the site of the disputed Kichako village,
Governor Lele L’Afrique was blank that politicians should stop fuelling
conflict on a people that are living peace. He called on all those who
have guns to declare them with the administration for authorization
and control and that his administration would not tolerate any act of
vandalism especially at this time that the country is faced with the
challenge of fighting Boko Haram.The Governor asked a rhetorical question
as to who knows where the grave of the great grand fathers father of
the people fighting today is located. He said nobody knows where the
people would be two hundred years from today given the migration nature
of the people.
Konene which is
the economic capital of Bum Sub-Division also play host to criminal
activities such as cattle rustling and arm robbery in broad day light.
With this reputation the Governor called on the traditional rulers to
ensure that peace and harmony and equally sounded a warning for the
population to be alert and report any strange activities especially
any suspected militant of the dreaded Boko Haram.
The Governor rounded
his three days economic tour in the Division accompanied by Hon. Evaristus
Njong and the emblematic Senator Wanlo John, by visiting some government
structures such as schools and councils, private initiatives such the
cooperatives smeared by managerial and financial quagmire, pig farms
and MIFAGIC training center in Belo. Of the four Sub-Divisions, Fundong
was least tedious in terms of state of roads given that the Mayor Ndang
Denis Awoh is living to expectation with his crusade to disenclave his
municipality. The Governor made a stop at the tertiary cattle ranch
in Njinikom run by the Saint Theresia Orphanage to provide milk and
meat for the orphans. An on the spot offertory for the kids was initiated
by the chief executive who pleaded with his collaborators to chip in
for the needy kids found at the center. He promised to always ensure
government assistance to the center when ever the means are available
given that the needs of the orphanage are enormous. This was in response
to the catalogue of challenges faced with by the Reverend Sisters running
the center.
