Soldiers gun down a civilian on her way to church in Bambui

The incident Sunday September 8, 2019, left the entire Bambui residents in shock.
The shooting to death of a woman whose name we got as Bih Justina.

Bambui is situated in Tubah Sub Division, Mezam, in the restive North West Region of Cameroon.

“I am writing to you in tears. She just saw off her grand children who were travelling to Yaounde, so that they can school there. So after that she had to attend first mass at the St Peter Parish Seminary Bambui,” a source told Mimi Mefo Info on basis of anonymity.

According to our source, government soldiers as early as 6:00am, were combat ready for Ambazonian fighters when the victim showed up around their “hideout”.

“They were hiding four of them beside the main Catholic Church bambui waiting for amba boys. An eye witness said many people were passing and seeing were they military people were hiding and had to use a different road to get into the church and when she saw mama Bih Christina coming in the same direction were the military were hiding…but to her greatest surprised, they called the mama from behind who immediately turned behind and discovered they were the one and she immediately put her hands on her head, but they still decided to shoot mama Bih on her chest…” our source narrated.

Bambui residents mourn as Mama Bih lies in her own pool of blood.

Locals are said to have notified the DO of Tubah, who is yet to react. The angry population reportedly carried her corpse to the police station demanding for explanation.

“The body was later transferred from the police station to the mortuary,” the source added.
