A witness and inhabitant of the quarter talking to Mimi Mefo Info says ” we were in the house and suddenly we heard gunshots. We had to close the doors and hide under the bed. The sound was really deafening as the shooting was just around our compound”

In another location still in Bamenda, there were gunshots at “Cow Boy Junction Ngomgham”. Daily activities shut down abruptly as people sought for hiding places.
