Biya Sacrifices Lebialem SDO, DOs of Fontem & Alou
 |
| President Paul Biya |
A presidential decree signed on Friday 6 April 2018
appoints new SDOs and DOs to restive localities in the SW region.
According
to the presidential decree read on state radio Friday, Etta Ashu Mbokaya
replaces Ungitoh Zakary as SDO of Lebialem. Etta Mbokaya Ashu was formerly the
SDO of Ndian.
He was
replaced as SDO of Ndian by a son of Lebialem, Nwafua Lawrence Forwang, who
until his new appointment was the SG of the Sw governor’s Office.
Also,
Ewane Jude replaced Idrissa Said as DO of Fontem. Ewane was formerly the DO of
Kumba III. He had served there for barely less than a year before this new
appointment.
Meanwhile
Hambi Isaac also replaces Akombo Neba Joseph as DO of Alou.
According to the decrees, Ungitoh Zachary and Akombo Neba
are going on retirement.
It is understood that the administrators that were sacked
did not impress the authorities in Yaounde in their handling of the ongoing
Anglophone crisis in their areas of command. Lebialem division is set to have
taken the struggle to extremes and apparently the SDO and Dos were not seen as
taking any firm measures to counter the moves of the secessionists.
Recall
that it was in Lebialem, and specifically in Alou subdivision that the Chairman
of the GCE Board, Prof. Ivo Leke Tambo was abducted by armed gunmen. It is also
no news to anyone that since for two years now no single school is functioning
in the whole Lebialem.
The
recent appointment of Paul Tassong as the first ever son of Lebialem to become
government minister was said to be with the aim to pacify the Bangwa people and
sweeten their bitter mood.
But it
appears Tassong’s appointment did not do the trick. A former Commissioner of
Cemac, Tasong reportedly narrowly escaped abduction by the Ambazonia fighters
as he went down to celebrate his appointment with his people. We are told that
the abductors actually made out for Tasong, but they got but Prof. Leke in
their waylay trap.
