Bamenda
One life was lost in Bamenda’s Old Town tonight as gunfire erupted near a popular location on Crossover night. Details remain uncertain and require further verification by MMI. Reports indicate a security officer, reportedly in plain clothes, shot and killed an individual.
While the identities and affiliations of those involved remain unconfirmed, speculation regarding the deceased’s status as a “Separatist Fighter” has circulated. “It is a separatist fighter who was killed,” a source told us.
One person was reportedly apprehended following the incident. However, MMI emphasises the need for independent verification before offering details like names or official roles.
Our news team is actively working to gather accurate information and provide a clear picture of what transpired. We prioritise responsible and impartial reporting, recognising the sensitivity of this situation.
We understand the community’s concern and urge everyone to avoid speculation until confirmed details emerge. MMI will continue to report updates as they become available and ensure all information is verified and presented objectively.
Despite this incident, further reports from other parts of the city indicate that the crossover night celebrations went smoothly. It is worth noting that Ambazonia separatists had declared that Christmas and New Year were canceled this year, as they fell on Monday, which was a day they traditionally enforced sit-at-homes known as ‘Ghost Town’.
