Self-Proclaimed leader of the Ambazonian Defense Forces, ADF, fighting for the Independence of the Anglophone regions in Cameroon Monday night, has announced that his Forces are keeping the murderers of Ayafor Florence. He first made the statement on Facebook, followed by pictures of three boys displayed on social media platforms with all having their hands tied and with their boxers only.
He writes;
The Ambazonian Defense Forces now have in custody the killers of Ayafor Florence
The suspects, 3 dreaded looking males approximately in their 20s have the dreadlocks styled hair, with a very noticeable one seemingly the leader, who had been posted online long ago as a wanted person.
Though not clear of how many were involved in the act, the boys of Pinyin Clan, Santa-Sub Division of the Northwest Region of Cameroon are surely going to give more details on the heinous act.
They were caught in 2 separate videos that circulated online, pulling a naked Mrs. Ayafor, Mother of 5 and wardress at the central Prison in Bamenda, to a location where a club and Machete was used to dismember her head from the rest of her body.
Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam had earlier enjoined the population to make known these perpetuators to security agents. However, the military had not been able to reach out to the situation given the complex nature of the ongoing crisis.
The Security wing of Ambazonia had also announced that it will investigate and arrest those before the act. Now they are in keeping of them and no one knows for sure what confessions they will make or what will happen thereafter.
Both parties, Government and Ambazonian Fighters have often blamed each other for such crimes with the Ambazonian Defense Groups accusing Government of penetrating their ranks and soiling their image.
The U.S Government and the E.U had also urged the Government of Cameroon to do an impartial investigation of the situation.
What kind of justice and how it will be served remains a wonder, as the relieved population await in anxiety because Mrs Ayafor isn’t the first to be beheaded or tortured to death in the current deadlock crisis.
