Forces of Law and Order have reportedly shut down some school in Kumbo, Bui division of the North West region which were said to be run by Ambazonia fighters.

The schools were operating on some church premises and are said to have been funded by Ambazonia fighters.

The shutting down of these schools comes as one of the first actions taken by the newly appointed Senior Divisional Officer for Bui who is said to have been attacked days back.
