Meme SDO Declares Dusk-to-Dawn Curfew
- Bans Night Riding & Drinking
By Doh Bertrand Nua in Kumba
Following recent gun battle between Ambazonia separatist fighters and government forces in Kumba, the Senior Divisional Officer for Meme, Chamberlin Ntou'ou Ndong has signed a dusk-to-dawn curfew banning the circulation of motor bikes and the opening of drinking spots.
                The prefectoral order signed Thursday February 8, referenced G39/RA/005 a copy which The Median procured partly reads "The Senior Divisional Officer for Meme Division has the honour to inform the population of Meme in general and Kumba in particular that, considering the persistent threat against social peace and national security, all drinking establishments (Bars, snack-bars, night-clubs etc) should be closed as from 9p.m prompt from Monday to Sunday till further notice within Kumba municipality".

                The SDO's order urges the population to in collaboration with Heads of security forces and all administrative authorities denounce systematically all suspected individuals or activities that compromise peace. The prefectoral order further warns defaulters of serious sanctions to be slam them.
                The population has however welcomed the SDO's order with mixed feelings shortly after been aired in local radio stations in Kumba. While some people applaud the SDO for the move, others are of the opinion that the "long throat" public security officers will use the order as an opportunity to, intimidate and extort huge sums from the population even before the time limit stated by the order.
