Hoodlums who claimed to be freedom fighters under Norway-based Ayaba Cho Lucas have rendered life difficult for Bamenda residents. Recently the Ambazonia Governing Council, a separatist group fighting for the independence of the North West and South West regions, asked Taxi drivers in the city of Bamenda, North West region, to repaint all their Taxis from Yellow to White and Blue colours. Such a decision was condemned by other frontline leaders and Activists who said the people would have their back on the wall because the government was going to react brutally. Vehicle owners who before the recalculated order, had their vehicle colors either in Blue or White are being arrested in Bamenda. On Tuesday, June 18, 2024, some hoodlums working for the ADF under Ayaba Cho Lucas, set ablaze a taxi on Che Street, leaving the owner to cry out his lungs. Star TV Bamenda who went on the site of the incident first, said the victim is physically challenged as he walks with crutches but was struggling to earn a living w ith the taxi. Recently the population has been targeted in several moves by the same group that claims to fight for the same people. The group said it was fighting to counter a curfew imposed on bikers by the SDO of Mezam Division. Despite calls for a reversal of the decision, Ayaba Cho said, he would never do so.
