Parents of Murdered Baby Contradict Minister

-Insist Military Committed Gruesome Act

The parents of four-months-old baby Mathar Neba murdered in Muyuka, Fako Division, South West Region of Cameroon  have  rejected a narration from Communication Minister Rene Emmanuel Sadi linking the incident to separatists gunmen.

                In interviews granted local media organs, the parents  insisted that, their baby was killed by military officers who invaded the Makanga  neighbourhood of Muyuyuka  on Monday May 20th.

                Contrary to the minister’s statement of Wednesday May 22nd  stating that, the father of the deceased was a former separatist fighter, the concern denied ever belonging to such groups. The aggrieved man disclosed that, he is a worker of the Cameroon Development Cooperation (CDC).

                While cursing the killers of his daughter, the man stated that, he had been forced to relocate after the Anglophone crisis put the CDC in tight financial situation making it unable to pay workers. Mr. Neba insisted that, the security officers stormed the neighbourhood in war mood and killed the baby in the process.

                The mother of the murdered baby argued that, the baby was shot on the head as she lay asleep on a chair in their palour. She said at the time  the incident happened, she was in the kitchen preparing food. According to the lady, she escaped in the wake of seeing military amoured cars advancing into the Menkanga vicinity.

                According to the woman, she thought the innocent baby would be spared reason why she escaped allowing her in the house.

                Other relatives of the same family have been brandishing bullet shells picked from the vicinity claiming that such were fired by Cameroonian security forces.

Before now, the Minister had maintained in his outing  that, the authors of the attack targeted the father of the baby because he deserted the separatist. Sadi condemned the act insisting that, it was staged to sabotage the military.

                There has been widespread condemnation and outrage across the country since the incident. A new group  of persons  are already clamouring for the corpse of the baby to the exhumed and proper investigations conducted to clarify public opinion  on the development.

                Besides the murdered baby, locals around the area of the incident have also accused the military of invading a make shift restaurant on the same day. They claimed the military officers ate some of the food on sale and remove every piece of meat spotted inside flasks of food.

                At the moment, the couple  are rarely seen in their home. They are said to be living in an undisclosed location for fear of the unknown
