350 gendarmes deployed to NW region ahead of twin polls.
The reign of terror imposed by the Ambazonian fighters on the eve of the February 9 2002 polls has forced government to resort to strong-arm tactics. The multiple kidnappings of candidates, especially of the SDF, in a bid to prevent them from voting necessitated the deployment of more troops in the North West to protect voters. After the South West region, a new set of three hundred and fifty gendarme officers were deployed to the conflict-hit North West to ensure security before, during and after the February 9, 2020 Legislative and Municipal elections.
The gendarmes arrived Bamenda, North West region Thursday January 9, 2020 on board 16 trucks.
Upon arrival, they were received at the esplanade of the North West Gendarmerie Legion by Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique who enjoined them to be disciplined and be at the service of the people of the region.
The 350 gendarmes will be deployed to all the thirty-four Divisions of the North West region will have to make sure the population go to the polls and carry out their voting rights in all security.
On Monday Janauary 6, 2020, a first set of three hundred and fifty gendarmes were deployed to the South West region for the same purpose.
These deployments which are a response to President Biya’s December 31st, 2019 declaration on the reinforcement of security measures to ensure the elections go on smoothly, comes amid waves of election-related kidnappings and burning of residents of candidates to the twin elections in the regions.
