Cameroon Government denies Popular Opposition leader basic right of Movement in the Country

Cameroonians and most especially those of the 2 crisis hit Anglophone regions are yet to take chill pills on most social media platforms in condemning what they describe as a hyperbolic violation of basic human rights of a political leader.

John Fru Ndi, Chairman of the Social Democratic Front Party Created in 1990 had been stopped by Cameroonian military forces not to step foot into the lone Oil Refinery, June 13th, 2019, as he went visiting.

The political icon who has been President Paul Biya’s closest rival since multi-partism was introduced in the country, had gone to Limbe, Southwest Region of Cameroon to see for himself the damage caused by a wildfire few days ago. He however got intercepted by an order from the Government’s administrator of Limbe 2 subdivision who is said to have highlighted that Fru Ndi’s coming is a Threat and might create an atmosphere of insecurity.

Over the years, Fru Ndi has been in Cameroon and has never been charged or convicted for any crime against the state. Denial for him to visit the area has gotten his supporters questioning why a Cameroonian like their leader will be denied his right to movement.

Cameroon’s constitution empowers every Cameroonian to walk freely within the territory be it from the former Southern Cameroons or The French Cameroon, since reunification.

Before his disrupted visit, many other government and non-state officials had visited the refinery that lost more than 10 billion francs CFA in Flame. The Chiefs of the region visited a day before.

Many believe that the regime of President Biya is settling scores with the leader of The SDF after his party declared few days ago that, they won’t take part in the triple Elections tipped for later 2019 owing to the fact that the Government is proving reluctant to solve the ongoing Crisis in the Anglophone part of the country.

The party is yet to make an official statement on the June 13th Rights violation of their national Chairman
