The 2019 Limbe Festival of Arts and Culture – FESTAC opened today April 6 2019, in the town of friendship amidst early morning gunshots at Mile 2 purportedly by the Pro-Independence Fighters, Mimi Mefo Info has learnt.

Sources say Government Defence and Security Forces were informed of the presence pro-independence fighters at Mile 2 and a truck of soldiers was immediately dispatched to the area to contain them.

Despite the early morning gunshots that lasted for some minutes, it did not however scare or stop the denizens of the opec city of Limbe who came out massively for the planned sports walk in the morning.

Information says over 3,000 persons answered present for the sports walk despite the 10-day lockdown imposed by separatists fighters and the gunshots in the morning aimed at frustrating the cultural showpiece.

There was tension in Buea, Mutengene,Tiko and other parts of Fako ahead of the cultural jamboree after Ambazonian fighters announced a ten-day lockdown, to frustrate the event.
According to the separatist leaders, there should be no celebration when “they are at war…”
