A spokesman for the Separatist movement, Capo Daniel whose real name is Ndong Emmanuel, confirmed in a Facebook outing that, Ambazonia Defense Force, ADF a separatist militia carried out the act.
“Congratulations to our ADF forces for the arrest of an enabler and wanted criminal for misrepresenting himself as a parliamentarian for Ngie without any election,” said Capo Daniel.
“The CPDM Section President for Momo IV section in Ngie Stephen Ujambeng Ando have been arrested after taking part in the banned 20 May celebrations in Ngie along several others,” Capo Daniel added.
