Thousands of people gathered at Limbe Centenary Stadium today (August 9th, 2023), to pay their last respects to the five delegates who had been slain and buried by Separatists. The delegates were murdered and buried in June 2021 by an Amba group commanded by a self-proclaimed general named ‘ten kobo’. Their bodies were exhumed in August 2023.
At the stadium, a public funeral was held in their honor. The mourners wore all-black clothing.
The South West Region Governor presided over the funeral service. The Governor of the South West Region, Bernard Okalia Bilai told reporters that, “These Are Trophies Of Amba Terrorism,” referring to the caskets and bodies of the slain delegates. The funeral was also attended by traditional authorities.
