Ambazonian dies after being tortured by Cameroonian security forces
An Ambazonian youth has died as a result of serous injuries he sustained after being tortured by Cameroonian military men. Sources narrate that, Akatop was picked up by the military in Otu as he was going back to Otu following the S.D.O's communiqué that was revoked on Saturday 2'nd Dec, 2017. He was mercilessly beaten and released at 3:00 am on Sunday, 3'rd Dec. He went to the Eyumojock district hospital for treatment. On the Tuesday, 5'th Dec, 2017, he managed to see me as you can see from the pictures that I took. I took him to the D.O so that he could be witness to the brutality on my people.
His motorbike and ID card was confiscated by the military. I pleaded with the D.O to give orders for his items to be returned. Two days later, his family came again to my palace to request for his motorbike and ID card, again, I wrote a letter to the D.O asking for his intervention and cooperation in the matter. His family decided to take him to Nigeria to continue treatment. He died yesterday.
