Santa: Residents wake up to sounds of gunshots, tension and burnt car

By Soulemanu Buba

Reports from Santa, Mezam Division, in the restive North West Region of Cameroon say a car has been set on fire, following heavy gun shots that began at about 5:00 AM.

It is not clear who set the car ablaze but some sources have accused Separatist fighters.

Vehicles that left major cities like Douala, Yaounde and other parts of country for Bamenda were blocked at MATAZEM (the city’s outskirts) as result of the heavy gunshots.

Meantime, reports say hundreds of vehicles were lined up at Santa waiting for a military escort.

It is unclear whether any casualties were recorded.
