The Social Democratic Front, SDF National chairman has declared that 90% of the money which was disbursed by France to Cameroon to pay as ransom to Boko Haram in exchange of the abducted French nationals was tracked and located within the Cameroon territory. According to SDF national Chairman, Ni John Fru Ndi French satellite in trying to locate Boko Haram through lazar-banknotes detected that part of the money was inside the Presidency of the republic in the hands of some corrupt officials.
    Fru Ndi made the startling revelation in Nkambe and Ndu during celebrations to mark the 24th Anniversary of the SDF on 26 May.
    He told the over 30.000 man-crowds in Ndu and Nkambe that it is for similar reasons that the National Executive Council of the SDF last December 2013 issued a resolution “calling on President Biya to resign because he has failed”.

    Harping on how corrupt members of the Biya regime are, Fru Ndi revealed that those who were assigned to negotiate with Boko Haram disbursed only 10% of the amount and retained 90% for themselves. With all these, SDF National Chairman said he would have preferred dialogue and not war with Boko Haram because “you cannot fight war with people you don’t see”.
    Fru Ndi called on the population to be very vigilant and to collaborate with the forces of law and order likewise the administration.
    “Remember I came here to sound a warning on malaria, I came back to sound a caution on HIV/AIDS, and today I am here again to echo a new warning on this wind that is blowing. I have come to warn because Nkambe and Ndu should not be any of the places where they would want to start to destroy Cameroon,” Fru Ndi cautioned.
    He said that if he wasn’t a lover of peace, he would have accepted to go to war in 1992 given that 80% of the military supported his candidature. Yet he opted for peace.
    “I hear some CPDM militants carried placards on May 20, asking for Hon. Awudu to go to Ndu? That is worse than Boko Haram,” Fru Ndi said, denouncing such provocative acts that could lead to confrontation.
    On the 24 years of the SDF, Fru Ndi said the party has reached the age of maturity given that a woman at 24 is supposed to give birth. He called on SDF militants and sympathizers to continue to support the vision.
    On his part, the Member of Parliament for Donga Mantung Centre, Hon. Awudu Mbaya told the population of Ndu and Nkambe that those who joined politics without understanding the rules of the game have been hooked.
    He said in his capacity as MP for Donga Mantung Centre, he discusses issues and not people. He called on the population especially the “achaba” riders, to collaborate with the administration, law enforcement officials, fons and chiefs as well as political leaders so as to step up security in the Division.
    From Nkambe and Ndu, Fru Ndi made stop overs inTatum and Kumbo, where he addressed rallies organized to fete the 24th anniversary of the party.
    Back in Bamenda, birth place of the SDF, anniversary celebrations took place in corresponding electoral districts with  Bamenda II militants filing  out at  the Mankon municipal stadium while Bamenda I militants  joined Bamenda III  militants  in the neighbourhood of Nkwen  for celebrations.
