NW political elite, religious authorities and well-to-do
sons and daughters of the NW region have been challenged to federate forces
with the military to fight the weekly anti-ghost town crusade so as to
fast-track a return of peace and normalcy in the region.
Adolf
Lele L’Afrique, NW Governor made the call Monday 9 March 2020 shortly after
participating in the weekly sports walk initiated early February by Brigadier
Generals Nka Valere and Ekongwese Divine Nnoko, Commanders of the 5th Joint
military and Gendarmerie region respectively.
Lele
underscored the need for the living forces of the region to join the crusade,
saying that with the weekly sports walk the populations send a strong message
to the separatists and the entire nation that the region is waxing strong,
despite the challenges posed by the separatists.
He
appealed to all and sundry to see the need for them to join hand and put the
region on the rails owing to the economic losses recorded in the recent
separatist explosion in the region that razed 9 shops, killed one and left
several soldiers injured.
He
called on the inhabitants of the region to steer clear separatists dictates
which he revealed has caused them untold suffering and losses from the start of
the crisis in 2016 and urged them to go about their activities normally while
assuring them of constant security presence.
The
sports walk on Monday ended with a visit to the scene of the bomb explosion at
Commercial Avenue, to evaluate the damage caused.
Lele
noted that a cross-section of inhabitants of Bamenda have joined the march to
denounce ghost towns and lockdowns.
However,
reports say despite the sports sessions around the town on Mondays, most parts
of Bamenda still remain dead, with shops and markets closed and the transport
sector grounded.
