Buea DO places injunction on sold Mile 16 football field amidst dispute

As a measure to resolve the dispute surrounding Mile 16 football field, the Divisional Officer, DO, Abdurahman Abba has barred anyone from trespassing on the spot.

He has given Mile 16 youth a different land for their play ground, adding that those who bought the Government High School Bolifamba field did so at their own cost.

Bolifamba youth President, Steven Nganjo, has mobilised the youths to clean their new field for their regular sports excercises to resume.

Recently, the popular GHS Bolifamba school field, which has for years been used as a community field, was sold by one of the Bolifamba Chiefs.

After being sold, the area was demarcated and boundaries mapped, but enraged Bolifamba youths removed all the demarcations, sparking dispute with the buyers of the piece of land.

The DO’s injunction order, many say, is fair to the community, as the piece of land is community and not the Chief’s land.

The Bolifamba youths say justice should reign, hoping that the piece of land would not be allowed to it’s buyers after the injunction order is lifted.
