Horror in Kumba:

Man’s Head Chopped Off, Paraded On A Stick

By Boris Esono in Buea

The on-going crisis rocking the two Anglophone regions in the country has begun taking a different dimension in Meme Division and Kumba in particular. This follows the discovery early Tuesday January 21 of a decapitated human head hung on a stick along a street.

                The head that was found placed around the campus of Government Bilingual Primary School Kosala in Kumba II Sub-Division. The incident is said to have occurred Monday, a ghost town day. The barbaric act has left the population of the said area in shock and disbelief with many fleeing the area for fear of the unknown.

                Beside the head was a written note stating “this should serve as a warning to other black legs”. Beside the note was some identification document of the said person

                The said man whose names we couldn’t immediately get is said to be a private security guard working with a micro finance institution in Kumba. Some locals revealed he was last seen on Sunday around the quarter on his bike with a uniform officer.

                No detail has been given so far why he was beheaded while no group has so far claimed responsibility of the act. The whereabouts of his lifeless body is nowhere to be found. Opinion holds that, the act might have been committed by the Amba boys wrecking terror in the said neighbourhood.

                Many say the said might have been suspected by those who beheaded him to be a spy for the military in the area since he was reportedly seen with a uniform officer on his motor bike on Sunday.
