Breaking! Amba fighters invade University of Buea, disrupt examinations

Ambazonian fighters today Friday July 8, invaded the Faculty of Engeneering and Technology (FET) building of the University of Buea, disrupting ongoing exams.

The students were said to be writing their resit exams at the FET building, towards the Bulu blind center in Buea, South West Region when some “strange men” with machetes stormed their halls.

“They were holding machetes and covered their faces. While everyone was lying on the floor, one asked the invigilator to go with him,” a student narrated.

She explained that after 20 minutes, they were asked by the fighters to evacuate the hall within 3 seconds.

“They told us that we have three seconds to run and after that they will shoot. Apparently the police had arrived and that is why they set us free.”

The invigilator’s whereabouts is not known at the moment.
