The abduction which took place at about 19:30 pm in Nera
Hotels, (Ekwueme Road), on Friday January
5, 2018 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria, Abuja.
According to the Secretary of Communications and Information
Technology, Federal Republic of Ambazonia, Mr. Chris Anu, told ITRealms that
the action of Cameroun is criminal and that the abduction took place during a meeting
chaired by H.E. Sisiku Ayuk Tabe.
Those arrested along with the President H.E. Sisiku Ayuk
Tabe include Dr. Nfor Ngala Nfor, Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National
Council (SCNC), Dr. Fidelis Nde Che, Dr. Henry Kimeng, Prof. Awasum, Dr. Cornelius Kwanga, Mr. Tassang Wilfred, Barrister Eyambe Elias, Dr.
Ojong Okongho and Barrister Nalowa Bih.
“The President and his team were in a High Command meeting
in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria at the time the Cameroun gunmen
showed up at the hotel. The meeting started at around 5pm, Nigerian time. At
around 7:30PM, the gunmen came into the hotel and abducted all of them
including the President,” he said.
The meeting was scheduled to discuss the Southern Cameroons
Refugee crisis in Nigeria and to galvanize relief support for housing, medical
and feeding in anticipation of the approaching rainy season.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has been notified of the
incident and is currently investigating the situation.
“The Interim Government of the Southern Cameroons calls on
all Southern Cameroonians to remain calm as it pursues investigations,” he said
and condemned the continuous victimization on them via extra judicial killings
orchestrated by President Paul Biya and his henchmen.
He also alleged that President Paul Biya and his henchmen
must know that Southern Cameroonians will continue to assert their rights to
self-determination and will hold Paul Biya to account on all the killings of
Southern Cameroonians.
“We call on Nigerian authorities to address this issue
immediately and ensure that the Cameroun Government does not do any harm to
them. We also call on the Nigerian authorities to investigate this threat
against its sovereignty by La Republique du Cameroun,” he said, calling further
on the Nigerian government to guarantee the security of the more than 20,000
Southern Cameroonian refugees in various camps in Nigeria.
