Armed robbers fatally shoot bike rider, injure wife in Ndu

A commercial motorcycle rider whose only name was MMI got simply as Princewill, was shot dead and his wife injured by armed men believed to be robbers, who attacked their home at Nseh Makop, in Ndu Subdivision.

They were attacked at about midnight on Saturday breaking Sunday, July 14, 2024.

His motorcycle, according to family sources, “was burnt and his wife also shot in the leg.”

“He was seen full of life on Saturday, only to go to bed and be killed. This is so painful,” a family source told MMI.

The act has sent shock waves across the village with locals fearing for their lives.

Princewill was buried on Sunday amidst wailing and consternation.

The recent killing happened nearly one week after a man was shot dead and his son kidnapped in Ntumbaw, a neighbouring village to Nseh Makop.

The incidents are occurring in a context of insecurity caused by the ongoing Anglophone Crisis in the North West and South West Regions, where thousands of people have been killed.

Mimi Mefo Info (MMI) is an Independent online news reporting network based in the UK, Germany & Cameroon. We have reporters across most of Cameroon’s ten regions, bringing you independent news on a daily basis. MMI is not affiliated with any government or organisation. As such, we report the news with objectivity, aiming to encourage freedom of the press and expression, hold authorities to account, and encourage a system of citizen journalism where Cameroonians from all works of life can get their stories told.

Despite the hostile media environment in Cameroon, where journalists are constantly, harassed, arrested, or killed, MMI believes that the only way to overcome this is to create a structure of reporting, where journalists are free to work, without jeopardising their safety. Hence, while MMI is registered in the UK and has its top management out of Cameroon, the journalists who cover the news on a daily basis are resident across different regions of Cameroon.

MMI also covers news of interest across different countries in Africa and the globe. Often, these are stories that have been authenticated by local media sources. The objective is to amplify the voices of others in these countries and provide the Cameroonian audience with up-to-date happenings in other areas of the continent and the world.

We believe that information is power and should be used in shaping society for the good of everyone. We believe that everyone stands to benefit when we embrace and value the diversity of thoughts, ideas, and ways of working that people from different backgrounds, experiences, and identities bring.
