Droits réservés Territorial Administration Minister Atanga Nji Paul says armed separatists have no other reason for staying in the bushes given that the state has promised to protect them if they lay down their weapons and abandon the “dangerous adventure”.
Addressing administrative and security officials at a closed-door security meeting in Bamenda Tuesday, Atanga Nji sent a message to Ambazonia fighters, urging them to surrender in their own interest. If you are afraid to hand your weapons at the Divisional Officer s office or to gendarmes, police, and/or soldiers, go to the bishops, priests, pastors, or traditional rulers. Take the guns to them and they will facilitate your movement to the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration, DDR, centers,” said Atanga Nji.
CIN 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.

Welcome to Yaounde and welcome to the CRTV. You are coming after an unfortunate incident which led to the death of three traditional rulers in Lebialem Division. What happened? What did you see, what did you hear?
Teneng Lucas Atanga Nji Paul, Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration officially received the reconstructed office of the Divisional Officer, DO, for Bafut Subdivision Tuesday, February 23, 2021.
Armed separatists burnt down the office of the Divisional Officer for Bafut on August 16, 2018. The armed men grouped under the group “7-Kata” set official documents ablaze, including furniture and the roof of the building.
After the arson, local contractors did not bid on the contract to reconstruct the Bafut Divisional Office. Many are those who feared the unknown given that the terrain was uncertain.
The Rapid Intervention Battalion (Bataillon d Intervention Rapide, BIR), an elite unit of the Cameroonian army, dealt with the problem directly and reconstructed the burnt building.
