Nigerians Resident In Bakassi Cries Out

 Nigerians Resident In Bakassi Cries Out


The activities of the Cameroonian government at Bakassi Peninsula over the Nigerians living in the area are deplorable. The Cameroonian government is now demanding up to N50,000 to N100,000 from the people living in the Bakassi Peninsula who are mostly Nigerians.

The matter is so serious that many people have moved from the Peninsula to Oron and Ibaka in Nigeria because of the intimidation of Cameroonian Gendarmes and the threat of burning and destroying their properties.

The money is for what they call Resident Permit. We are therefore appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari to help talk to the Cameroonian President, Paul Biya, on this matter so that it may not result to another big fight between Nigeria and Cameroon.
