Bamenda paralyzed as unidentified gunmen kill police inspector, lady wounded.
Bamenda paralyzed as unidentified gunmen kill police inspector, lady wounded.
An uneasy calm now reigns in Bamenda following the assassination of a police officer by unidentified armed men.
The attack on a police control team was carried out in broad daylight around Small Mankon, Bamenda on Tuesday.
Although the unidentified armed men are said to have appeared on board motorbikes and carried out the attack, other sources say they emerged from a nearby house and opened fire.
As the young Petit Bikolo bled and later died at the GMI hospital in Bamenda, his colleagues went in search of the culprits.
But given that it was a hit-and-run operation, it was civilians who bore the brunt.
“There is panic in Bamenda as gun battles have left residents running for their lives,” a local is quoted as she struggled to take cover at a local bank at Commercial Avenue.
“From City Chemist to Small Mankon and Commercial Avenue, business places have shut down and were now at the mercy of amba boys and the military.”
As security and defence forces populated the supposed crime scene, city dwellers fled to safety.
Unable to get hold of the armed men who attacked and killed one of theirs, police officers went on rampage.
Videos show them destroying roadside shops and setting motorcycles on fire.
They emptied food flasks into gutters and destroyed roadside kiosks.
The murdered officer is said to have been transferred from Yaoundé to the Bamenda Central Police five months ago.
Although none of the factions of the Amba boys has claimed responsibility, a video report attributed the killing of the policeman to Cho Ayaba’s ADF.
