As the People
of Southern Cameroons inch up towards the 51st Independence
Anniversary on 1st October 2012, would you, please, permit me raise certain
outstanding issues concerning your personal role during the Buea arrest at the
same celebration in 2011.
You would quite
remember that you were neither numbered among the group of 50 leaders,
encircled at the premises of the Nigerian Consul, nor the 125 others detained
at the Police Station. The fact of your having not been arrested is enigmatic
and worrisome.
It would also
be recalled that flanked by private escorts, you were freely circulating
outside, despite the marauding security teams of our oppressor. Although your
visits to and fro between the two groups of detainees sought to project you as
a communication link, the impression was faker than convincing.
For a supposed
devoted champion to be enjoying exceptional freedom, during a crises moment for
all others, is reminiscent of an identical SDF experience. While SDF Party
Executives were under House Arrest, you would recall that one of the senior
members was freely shuttling between his peers and the Security Services of the
oppressive regime. The masses, off course, had lost no opportunity to openly
brandish him as a traitor.
There is a
second observation to your Buea apparent manipulation. Being one of the least
known to the Buea - based Securities Services, how is it then that I was the
most targeted, if not by the betrayal of a Judas Iscariot, from within the very
SCNC ranks? The following brief narrative is how it happened.
After
dispersing from the confines of the Nigerian Consul, my members and 1 left Buea
immediately without telling anybody. With little money to have stayed longer,
we needed to return fast, in order to raise money to send to our detained
members. Strangely, while already in a bus at Mile 17 and due to kick off in
less than five minutes, I received an anonymous phone call from Buea warning me
to hide, because a Police van was dispatched to trap me at Mile 17. Why was I
the only person being sought after for re-arrest, when they did not even know me?
You can guess
why, of all the leaders, I should be particularly suspicious of you. The fact
is that you have such a track-record of treachery 4ewards”my SCNC branch that
it would be abnormal for us to suspect anyone else. In fact, every threatening
cloud on my way throughout the past 10 years, since 1993 when we parted ways,
has featured your scheming. The following examples are in order.
a) That in
2009, you, your late Northern Zone Chair, your late Secretary General, and your
late National Minutes Secretary, hatched a plot with the then state Counsel of
Batibo, and two Bamenda-based staffs of the Post Newspaper; who published a
false report that I had organized villages in Batibo to linge the State
Counsel.
b) That
consequently, I was arrested and detained for 36 days. Honestly speaking, the
late Martin Ngok had, while on his dicing bed, divulged your respective roles
and confessed his part. Though I forgave him, I had issued a curse of death on
the four of you, which I am extending to the two Journalists of the Post
Newspaper and that State Counsel, as well as any other Southern Cameroonian
traitor of this struggle.
c) That you
also served as an informant to the Security Services, who stormed and arrested
our meeting at the Azire old Church in 2006. Your members had warned that you
would not permit any SCNC meeting, other than yours to hold in Bamenda.
Moreover, a sympathetic senior retired Police officer was to graphically
express shuck and bewilderment to me at the Mankon Main Market. Said he: “Why won’t
your colleague of Cow Street let you work?”
d) That on
several occasions, you instigated Securities in Kumbo to arrest my members.
Then you would send your Country Chairman to go advise them to tell the Police
that they were associated with your SCNC branch, so as to be released. However,
my members always refused, preferring to rather remain in detention than be
released by association with untrustworthy leadership. It is divine retribution
that you and that infamous Country Chair uncompromisingly broke ranks, and are
not even on talking terms any longer.
It is necessary
to reveal this information in the run up to the Buea of 1st October 2012. So that the people of Southern
Cameroons can be vigilant over your apparent treachery, (70) instances of which
I have complied in a separate document, to be released at the appropriate
moment. For sure, there would always be some members of the Public, who hold
the proverbial view that “dirty linens may not be washed in Public”.
Unfortunately, it is this prolonged concealment that permitted you to ascend as
high, in spit of your evil schemes, which have greatly retarded the struggle.
Our
people should know that my 16 times of detentions is a lot of suffering, a lot
of which is caused by insiders of the very SCNC, whom they should begin to hold
accountable for any further disloyalty to the struggle. May there be no more
secret deals with the Regime as we look forward to the 51st Anniversary.
Yours
respectfully
