Surveillance cameras installed at Yaoundé-Mokolo market days after bomb blast

Traders of Mokolo market in Yaounde say they are stepping up security measures to avoid losing customers.

This follows an explosion which occured in the market last week.

The incident, they say, has left many customers scared of visiting the market.

To cajole buyers, a business person said fellow colleagues have been installing security cameras in their shops.

“Many shops have been taking security measures by installing surveillance cameras inside their shops because after the incident, many customers were afraid to come to the market and it was not easy for us to sell,” one trader testified.

The presence of security officers in the market, the traded added, has made it more organised as the number of roadside sellers has dwindled.

“I can say the market is more secure than before,” he explained.

It should be recalled that government has engaged security measures after an explosive device went off last week in the market.

It was the second incident recorded in the market in less than a month.

Many persons have been expressing concerns over the sustainability of the security measures taken by government.
