Bamenda bows to another weeklong lockdown after defiance

By David Atangana

Bamenda, headquarter of the restive North West region has again bowed to Separatists’ pressure to stay at home.

Streets and businesses are this Tuesday September 12, void of the usual hustle and bustle.

The City known for ‘religiously’ adhering to ghost town calls, last week shocked many by defying a two weeks lockdown called for by some armed Separatists fighters to frustrate school resumption.

The lockdown announced to end on September 16 reportedly saw most parts of Anglophone regions adhering to except Bamenda after spates of violence that some dead with others injured and property destroyed.

The defiance attracted threats from separatists fighters forcing denizens to bow.

“This ghost town thing is too much. I don’t know how it pushes the independence struggle ahead”, a Bamenda inhabitant told MMI

“I’m at home for fear of my life not anything else,” he added.
