Kumba-Mamfe Military Road Blockage Exceeds Third Day

Passengers on the Kumba-Mamfe highway have been left stranded for days now after passage was shutdown by the military.

Fleets of vehicles and buses have stood on the road sides of the road for days now, some with perishable goods and even corpses, unable to reach their destinations.

Stranded, passenger say the military has advanced no reason why they decided to block the roads.

However, a passenger has suggested that the cause of the road block by the military might have stemmed from a grudge between the military and the Gendarmes and police.

“… I asked one of them and he told me the police and Gendarmes have been making money at checkpoints, while they who are active in the bushes fighting are not,” a passenger told Mimi Mefo Info.

According to the passenger, the roadblock is a way of retaliation against the Gendarmes and police who have benefitted from the crisis.

Authorities are yet to make any official remarks.
