By Raymond Dingana.

Six persons have been wounded in a convoy that was heading to Mbengwi, Head Quarters of Momo Division in the NWR of Cameroon following an attack by suspected Pro independence fighters, Saturday February 01, 2020. Report from sources on the ground indicate that, the first attacked was at Nchualam while the second took place around Ngyen-Mbo.

The convoy was that of the Minister Delegate In charge of the Supreme State Audit, Mbah Acha Rose heading to the Momo Divisional Head Quarter –Mbengwi to launch CPDM campaigns ahead of the February 9 elections. Sources in the convoy recounted to the DrayInfos that, one person was shot on the arm, another on the head, and another on the leg. The others sustained just minor wounds from the den guns some of the attackers used. The sixth person was wounded when the convoy was heading back to Bamenda and the attack took place around the bridge over River Mezam.

Those with life threatening wounds were transported to the hospital while the others continued with the campaign caravan to the launch. Talking to militants of the party who answered present at the Mbengwi council hall, Minister Mbah Acha Rose said it is true that they were attacked and that many vehicles were shot at on their way to Mbengwi. She added that, no one was killed in the attacks showing one of the victims of the attacks calling him a true CPDM militant because, despite the wound he sustained, he was still bent on following the convoy.

she called on those on the social media to report the truth and that the population should be bold enough to debunk any information that is contrary to what actually happened. She said they should not be surprised that, the social media will report that, many were killed including her. She asked the question as to why some don’t want her and others to come to Mbengwi asking whether they have to beg some people before coming to their sub division asking why they have to be shot at. Sources on the ground also hinted the DrayInfos that, majority of those who answered present were seen moving back to Bamenda not with the uniforms they had put on at the event.

DrayInfos also gathered on the ground that, militants from Santa and other places were transported to Mbengwi and back and that, one of the victims of the attacks was from Santa. DrayInfos cannot independently confirm this part of the information.

It should be pointed out that, attacks like these were expected reasons why the convoy was heavily guarded by armed to the teeth soldiers with armored combat vehicles .In the North West Region of Cameroon, there are those who are for the elections and there are those against the elections. With these two opposing camps very active on the field, attacks like these are expected.
