This Monday morning, authorities discovered the body of Joko Frida, the Second Deputy Mayor of Bamenda II Council. Her death occurred just days after she attended a documentary film screening about President Paul Biya’s legacy in Bamenda.

Separatist fighters reportedly abducted and later killed Njoku Frida, the Section President of the women’s wing of Mezam I B of the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement.

On Saturday, October 26, someone abducted her after she returned home from watching a documentary on the legacy of President Paul Biya, screened at Upstation, Bamenda.

Witnesses report that armed men stormed Joko Frida’s residence in Old Town, Bamenda, shortly after she returned and forcibly took her away in a vehicle.

Her family remained in shock after this audacious act, with no word on her whereabouts until this Monday morning.

Authorities discovered her remains early at Nchuoboh Junction in the Bamenda 2 Subdivision.

Mami Joko, as she was affectionately called, likely met her end at Nchuoboh junction.

Residents reported gunshots in the area at about 10 pm on Sunday night.

The ADF, a separatist faction loyal to Lucas Ayaba Cho, has been the most active group in the area.

Local residents are pointing fingers at the fighters, although MMI cannot independently verify who the killers of Mami Joko are.

Known for her gentle and soft-spoken demeanor, Joko Frida had long been a respected figure in Bamenda.

Her kidnapping and murder has sparked widespread grief and condemnation across the board.

The Bamenda II Council and the local community are mourning the loss of a beloved leader.

Growing Insecurity

Meanwhile, insecurity is at its peak in Bamenda, headquarters of the North West Region where a separatist armed conflict has been raging for seven years now.

Separatist now operate in the heart of Bamenda. In the past, they used to carry out kidnappings on bikes but they now do them with cars.

Mami Joko was reportedly kidnapped from her home in a Hilux.
