Chief Augustine Nwafor

The President of the Nigerian Community in Meme Division, Augustine Nwafor, has called on his fellow Nigerians who have not regularized their stay in Cameroon to do so with immediate effect. He was speaking during a press briefing with The Median in his residence in Kumba on 7 July 2015.
    According to Chief Augustine Nwafor, after the recent bombings in Maroua by the terrorist group Boko Haram and the decision by the Meme SDO, Koulbout Aman David, to tighten up security within the Division, the Nigerian Community in Meme are not exempted in the fight against Boko Haram. As a result, the Nigerian Union in Meme Division has been going around sensitizing its members to respect the rules and regulations that have been put in place by the Meme Administration to ensure security of people and their property.

    He called on Nigerians who have not obtained their resident permits to do so since it
is their own identification document. He warned that any Nigerian who is caught by the police without a resident permit would have himself to blame.
    He further called on them to know their neighbours and to denounce any unidentified persons around them and also to respect the time that has been set as the latest time for movement at night.
    Chief Augustine Nwafor used the forum to thank the Meme Administration for the good work that they have been doing to ensure security of not only the Cameroonians but also the Nigerians in the Division. He also expressed appreciation to both the Nigerian and
    Cameroon Presidents, who met recently to discuss the way forward in the fight against Boko Haram which has claimed lots of lives in both countries, living many injured and millions homeless.
