At least three people have been killed and houses burnt in Difenda Balue, a village in Dikome Balue subdivision in Ndian division of the restive South West region of Cameroon, MMI has gathered.

Those killed, reports say included, Nelson Mindako, Chairman of Difenda Balue traditional council, a certain Sakwe, and an unidentified young man popularly known as Chopper Chopper.



Locals say, they were killed by soldiers loyal to the government of Cameroon who stormed the village Friday August 26, 2022 in a raid. Theyr motive, reports say, was allegedly to fish separatist Ambazonia fighters.

“Information reached the military that, an Amba general and colleagues have been dwelling in Difenda Balue,” a local told MMI.



“… About 17 trucks of army invaded the area and killed three youths- Sakwe and Chopper Chopper including the village head council, Nelson Mindako,” the source added.

It is not known why the three people were killed.

The military reportedly left the village with houses torched, promising to come back.

“They burnt down two houses and promised to come back again,” the source furthered.
