By Raymond Dingana.

Shock and consternation is still rocking Bambili following the shooting to death of a Level Five Biology student of the Higher Teacher Training Collage [HTTC] Bambili last Saturday November 09, 2019.Reports say, on the night of Saturday breaking Sunday 10 November 2019, a group of armed men dressed in civilian attires stormed a student residential area and abducted Twelve students. As they were leading the students to an unknown destination, one of them, level Five Biology student of HTTC was shot and killed.

Though the circumstances surrounding his death remains a mystery, it is alleged he tried running away from his abductors but luck was not on his side. His Lifeless body was only found Sunday morning with bullet wounds while the whereabouts of the other students remains a mystery.

In a Press Release dated 11/11’2019, the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam while condemning in very strong terms what he described as an Unacceptable Barbaric Act, further enjoined the population of Bambili and Tubah as a whole to fully collaborate with the Administration, Defense and Security Forces in order to track down and denounce the hide out of those he called Lawless Individuals.

He further reassured the population that investigations are on the way to bring to book those he called, Bands of Outlaws.

It should be recalled that, the level of insecurity in Bambili and the entire Tubah Sub Division has been on the rise despite the hundreds of uniform men sent there to maintain law and order. Unfortunately, their presence has not bore the desired fruits for the security challenges in Tubah to reap. Some of these men in uniform according to many especially students of the University of Bamenda  have focused their eyes of the money they are extorting from drivers , commercial bike riders and are also focusing their attention on women forgetting what actually brought them there. To many others, the call for the population to collaborate with the forces of law and order has already hit the rocks and scattered into pieces because some are giving them enough reasons not to do so taking in to account the way some of them treat the civilian population. Many say, their only trust is in God Almighty saying, he is the only one who can guarantee their security. They also frowned at those kidnapping students calling on them to stop because it is not helping matters saying time is coming when they will be forced to also take the bull by the horn.

killed In Bambili, Saturday Night.
