Missing UB Student Found Dead, Decomposed

The University of Buea (UB) faces tragedy as residents discover the lifeless body of Ngalla Roland, a final-year Botany student, on Friday, December 27, 2024. Residents found his remains in an advanced state of decomposition in the bushes behind the university, around the Sandpit area of Buea and buried them immediately due to their condition. Ngalla had been missing for several weeks.

Kidnapping and Failed Rescue Efforts

Mekwilli William Ewule, the President of the Faculty of Science Students Association (FSSA), reported that kidnappers took Ngalla. Despite efforts to secure his release, including the payment of a ransom, the situation ended in heartbreak.

Ewule expressed his sorrow, saying, “Let’s remember Ngalla for the vibrant spirit he brought to our faculty and the impact he had on those around him.”

University and Police Respond

The University of Buea’s administration has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. Meanwhile, officers from the Buea Central Police have launched an investigation to uncover the details surrounding Ngalla’s death.

Honoring Ngalla’s Memory

To pay tribute to Ngalla’s life, the FSSA is organising a memorial gathering. The association has initiated a freewill contribution of 500 francs to support the event, with further details to be announced after students return to campus. Ewule also called on the university community to keep Ngalla’s family in their thoughts and prayers during this painful time.

Concerns Over Student Safety

This incident has reignited concerns about the safety of students in the region, particularly in light of past violent events. In March 2023, another UB student, Ngule Linus, died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody, sparking widespread calls for improved security measures for students.
