The SDO for Mezam Simon Emile Mooh on Tuesday October 19, 2021 signed a prefectural order, removing the three month ban on the circulation of motorbikes in Bali Subdivision North West region of Cameroon.
The ban which went into effect after five police officers were ambushed and killed by separatist fighters in Bali Nyonga on Sunday July 18, 2021. The Subdivision that does not have township taxis had to look for alternative ways of movement for the past three months. The ban which was largely seen to come from the fact that five police officers lost their lives with the detonation of an improvised explosive device in the Subdivision and the perpetrators disappeared on motorbikes. The recent ban on bikes follows previous bans in other Subdivisions and divisions of the North West as government tries to curb down on the activities of separatist fighters. “Even buying food from the market and taking it home is a nightmare. We don’t have taxis here and these vehicles which transport people out of the village do not accept to go into the quarters and even if they do, they charge a price that one cannot even afford to pay”, a residual of Bali told KNews.
The Bamenda-Bali road is one of the axis that leads to and from Ekok, border with Nigeria. It has been the major axis that traders have been using to import goods from Nigeria into Cameroon through the North West region.
