Cameroon Condemns Separatists for Abducting Village Chiefs
December 16, 2020
Share | There has been widespread condemnation of separatists in Cameroon for a string of attacks and abductions of traditional village chiefs. Anglophone rebels released two chiefs on Monday but killed another for defying their demand not to participate in Cameroon’s December 6 regional elections.
Scores of Dibanda villagers, near southwestern Cameroon’s Buea town, are mourning their chief, whose body was found Sunday after he was abducted by rebels.
Cameroon authorities say Chief Emmanuel Ngalle Ikome was abducted on December 13 with two other village chiefs – they were freed on Monday unharmed.
His daughter, 37-year-old Libonge Epossi, says the anglophone separatists also abducted four family members when they attacked the palace.
