Facebook The circulation of motorbikes has been prohibited in Fako Division until further notice, officials have said.
In a prefectural order signed over the weekend, Engamba Emmanuel Ledoux, Senior Divisional Officer for Fako said the decision is based on “the necessity to maintain peace and order”.
The decision came on the eve of Group D matches of the ongoing Total African Nations Championship (CHAN). Although Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, and Guinea have their matches at the Limbe Omnisport Stadium, the teams are lodged in Buea and Limbe where they have training facilities.
Armed separatists had vowed to disrupt the competition.
Two separatists were killed at the Likomba Bridge in Tiko Subdivision, Fako Division after they burnt down a 14-wheeler brewery truck Friday morning.
