Cameroon: Disvisional Officer For Tiko Orders The Arrest Of Minors For Staying Out Of School

Mark Bareta, interim leader of the Anglophone Consortium in Cameroon reports that the Consortium has been reliably informed and confirmed that the DO of Tiko in the South West region of Cameroon, ordered the mass arrest of Southern Cameroonian minors yesterday at a local Market in the city. The consortium reports that the DO with police officers stormed the Tiko market, arrested and chained all minors who were at the market selling and helping their parents. The DO was furious that these minors were helping their parents instead of going to school. The corrupt DO and his officers went ahead asking for 25.000 CFA from parents before releasing these minors. As we write, these minors are presently under detentionl in Buea, the regional Capital.
