Anglophone Crisis: Activist Abdul Karim moved to SED in Yaounde

By David Atangana

State security services have moved detained activist and Muslim Scholar, Abdul Karim to the dreaded National Gendarmerie headquarters, SED in Yaounde, his lawyer has said.

He was reportedly whisked out on Wednesday November 3, 2022.

“Mr Abdul was ferried to yaounde today with his nephew Rabiu. They left at about 4pm to SED,” Tifuh Ochard Nkeng, defense lawyer for Abdul Karim told MMI without further details.

Abdul Karim, was arrested in August 2022 and before now held in a detention facility in Bamenda, capital of the North West Region of Cameroon.

He is one of the vocal activists fronting for the greater rights of English speaking people of the North West and South West Regions of the country.

Charges against Abdul Karim

Accused of promoting acts of terrorism, Abdul Karim is being held in relation with the war in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon.

To his lawyer, the accusations “are trumped up charges they bring up once and again. He does not do anything in hiding and his work has nothing to do with the armed struggle.”

The scholar, he noted, has like any other dutiful citizen been trying to do what he can at his own level to bring peace.

The charges, Barrister Tifuh believes, are similar to other government actions regarding the armed conflict: “they are systematic so that they can pounce on the people …”

This is not the first time Abdul Karim is being detained.
