Owners of poorly parked motorcycles and traders occupying pedestrian tracks at the Bonamoussadi market in the Douala V municipality have wrestled with the municipal police elements who confiscated their bikes and goods on May 2, 2024 upon the instruction of the D.O., Asongwe Cletus. Some of the victims decried injustice. 'The solution is not seizing bikes but saying park your motorbike properly.' 'We pay 100 frs daily for the space we occupy along the road, now they come to frustrate us by seizing our business items. They should return our goods and show us where to sell because there is no space left inside the market,' a motorbike rider and a trader said respectively. According to the D.O. who was also on the field to supervise the activity which falls under the 'Operation Douala Clean City', the exercise aims at fighting urban disorder and high crime wave in the municipality: 'It is for the good of all. The D.O has no interest in seizing your food items, motorbikes and trucks. All we need is your organ ization like in Kotto where traders are well organized. I was here days ago for sensitization.' Over 20 motorcycles were confiscated, dozens of trucks, wheelbarrows with with goods were also carried away by the elements of the Douala V municipal police. Source: Cameroon News Agency
