Taxi drivers go on strike over ‘illegal’ security checks.

Taxi drivers go on strike over ‘illegal’ security checks.

Activities were grounded in Buea, South West Region of Cameroon after taxi drivers decided to go on strike on Thursday morning.

The drivers all decided to stage a sit-down strike to protest against the security in the town and the harassment they face from armed men as well as security forces.

Most of the taxis were parked that morning in front of the Molyko Omnisports stadium as the drivers insisted the administration must provide solutions to their problems.

The Divisional Officer of Buea went down to the scene to discuss with the drivers who insisted the several ‘illegal’ police check points mounted around town should be dismantled. They told the Divisional Officer that they were harassed and extorted on a daily basis by these security officers.

In return, the Divisional Officer urged them to return to work while promising the administration would move swiftly to provide solutions.
