| Collapsed bridge that leads to Tiko Airport |
The bridge separating the Tiko Airport from
the main highway passing through Tiko town has collapsed. It collapsed on
Wednesday 5 October 2016. No injuries were recorded in the crash. Sources in
Tiko say movements into and out of the airport quarters have been temporarily
interupted. Businesses have also been negatively affected. For
now a barricade has been placed at the entrance to the bridge to prevent
persons from falling into the steep valley that underlies the bridge.
Until
press time yesterday no official statement had come from the authorities about
measures to reinstate movements in the short term. Tiko Airport was an
international airport in the then British Southern Cameroons. But it is now in
ruins.
