Nigerian Women Decry Kidnappings, Extortion In Bamenda.

 By Raymond Dingana

The President of the women’s wing of the Nigerian Union in Bamenda, Mrs. Margaret Ovayozo Ituen says, Nigerian women are facing numerous challenges both in the hands of the Cameroon Military and None State Armed Groups:

“Sometimes when the man is not, the women are taken in his place and released only after huge sums have been paid. Even when the man is kidnapped by unidentified persons, the women suffer psychologically and emotionally.  When women are travelling to or from Nigeria to Bamenda, whether with or without valid documents, they are extorted by soldiers stationed along the Bamenda- Ekok road. All these are happening at a time when businesses are crumbling because people have fled the restive regions; yet, we are being kidnapped and extorted. Mrs. Ituen said.

During his one day diplomatic visit to the population of Enugu State, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sunday August 09, 2020 at the Nigerian Union Secretariat in Bamenda, the president of the Union, Prince Otobong Ituen prescribes dialogue as the way forward:

Dialogue with the government is the measure I have taken to see into it that, the extortion of Nigerians is halted. Unfortunately, I am not able to know those kidnapping my people and collecting monies from them. If I can identify them, I will love to dialogue with them so that, they can leave Nigerians alone. Prince Otobong said.

According to Mr. Nnaji Monday, Governor of the Enugu meeting in Bamenda, they feel too bad especially as business is not moving coupled with the harassment from both the Cameroon military and the Ambazonia fighters. He however wishes that, the authorities could listen to their cry and come to their rescue.

This is not the first time Nigerians are raising the issue of extortion and kidnappings. Unfortunately, the ills have continued unabated.
