Ambazonian Fighters Strike Again: Civilians Horrified by Gruesome Beheading in Bamenda

Another grim incident has unfolded in the streets of Bamenda, as the lifeless head of an unknown individual was found at Azire Old Church Junction. Suspicion and accusations immediately pointed towards Ambazonian separatist fighters, known for their previous similar acts of brutality in the region, since the start of the ongoing Anglophone crisis.

Witnesses to the disturbing incident recounted a horrifying scene in which two individuals, known as Isubo and Slow, who are believed to be associated with the Ambazonian group, quickly dropped their head. “It was a swift scene, we saw a vehicle spin around and drive off, leaving a green bag which contained the bodiless head,” recounted a shaken eyewitness.

According to gathered intelligence, it is believed that the origins of this brutal act can be traced back to the Ntaturu area. This revelation has caused a great deal of surprise and concern among the community, which is already dealing with the consequences of previous attacks. The loss of yet another innocent life has deeply saddened the community, with residents grieving and calling for immediate action to ensure justice is served.

Regrettably, this is not an isolated occurrence. The disturbing practice by Ambazonian fighters, of placing severed heads at prominent road junctions has unfortunately become all too familiar. The community vividly recalls the initial incident, when the head of a teacher from GBHS Nitop was found at Mobile Nkwen in Bamenda. Following incidents have witnessed heads being left at eerie locations like Hospital Roundabout and Ntamulung, among others.

In a grim exchange, the military has chosen to publicly showcase the bodies of separatist fighters. These sombre scenes frequently take place at bustling intersections throughout the city, like the City Chemist Roundabout for Ambazonian general “Mad Dog,” also known as Fonteh, and at Hospital Roundabout for self-proclaimed general “Cross and Die.”

The cycle of violence, characterised by these horrific acts, has resulted in innocent civilians being trapped in the midst of an unwanted conflict. Amidst the grief and horror that has once again engulfed Bamenda, there is an increasing demand for an end to the violence and a restoration of peace.
