A Norwegian court has denied bail to Lucas Ayaba Cho, a prominent Ambazonian separatist leader, extending his pre-trial detention until June 30, 2025. This decision marks the fourth consecutive extension since his arrest in September 2024 and underscores the ongoing legal proceedings against him.

Lucas Ayaba Cho is the leader of the Ambazonia Defence Forces (ADF), a separatist group advocating for the independence of Cameroon’s Anglophone regions. The ADF is the military arm of the Ambazonia Governing Council (AgovC) which he leads. He was arrested in Oslo on September 24, 2024, on charges of incitement to commit crimes against humanity in Cameroon. Norwegian authorities allege that Cho orchestrated acts of violence in the conflict-ridden North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon.

Court’s Rationale

The Norwegian Oslo District Court justified the continued detention by citing concerns that Ayaba Cho might tamper with evidence or flee if released. Before his arrest, reports suggest he was planning to relocate from Norway to England.

Ayaba Cho’s legal team has consistently denied the charges, describing the case as politically motivated. They have filed multiple appeals against the detention extensions, arguing that the legal basis for his continued incarceration is insufficient. However, the courts have rejected each appeal.

International Reactions

Human rights organisations have expressed concern over Ayaba Cho’s detention, emphasising the importance of a fair and transparent legal process. The case has drawn international attention to the ongoing conflict in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions and the role of diaspora leaders in inciting violence.

As of May 9, 2025, Lucas Ayaba Cho remains in pre-trial detention in Norway. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with further hearings scheduled in the coming months. The outcome of these proceedings may have major consequences regarding international law and the accountability of individuals inciting violence from abroad.
