Adolphe Lele Lafrique : “Government Will Continue To Give Dialogue A Chance”

North West Governor, Adolphe Lele Lafrique on the state of the region on December 5, 2016.

Cold you size-up events that disturbed regular business activities in Bamenda on December, 5, and 2016?

First of all, let me salute the concern of all who are working toward lasting peace in the North West region. We have been constantly on the field, sensitizing various stakeholders and the population. We have chaired meetings and met traditional leaders to help the administration restore peace.

Those moves have yielded fruits and the situation has been stabilized since the disorder of November 21, 2016 until Monday December 5, 2016 when some incidents made some of our Security Forces to clash with some vandals who attempted to prevent traders and Commercial motorcycle riders from work. I take this opportunity to salute the professionalism of the Security Forces in handling the situation. Over the weekend, the SDO of Mezam Division sent a message to the population of Bamenda to carry out their activities as usual because there are security measures to protect people and their property.

This is to say that the situation in Bamenda is globally calm even if some shops were closed. I therefore appeal to the population to mobilize and prevent hijackers from attempts to destroy their tranquility and their economy and to stand by the law in their support for the administration to bring lasting peace. Nothing will be neglected to ensure the security of the population and their property. It is certain that perpetrators of disorder will b sanctioned.
