Commandos of the National Gendarmerie have recovered no fewer than 22 pieces of firearms and assorted ammunition belonging to separatist fighters operating in the North West Region.
Troops pulled out the weapons Tuesday, February 23, 2021, from an artisanal armory run by separatist fighters at Mile 24 along the road leading to Wum in Menchum Division, authorities announced.
Territorial Administration Minister, Atanga Nji Paul said the arms recovery was possible thanks to information given to the Gendarmes by a "patriotic citizen".
“I think that this is a very important assignment. This patriotic Cameroonian informed the forces of law and order that there were arms hidden in the bush. And immediately, the Brigade Commander informed the Legion Commander that there is a discovery. And instructions were given and the gendarmes went and they have brought the weapons. These are dangerous weapons,” said Atanga Nji.
