“Truly speaking, he was an Ambazonian fighter. I tried to advice him to leave and find something doing to no avail” he said.
“This morning, we got news that he was killed. They were on their way back to their camp as they did not spend the night there yesterday. They were ambushed in Njinikom sub division in Boyo” he explained further.
Thousands have lot their lies since the conflict started, as government and separatist fighters remain at loggerheads and unwilling to reach an amicable settlement.
