Cameroun Military Executes Two More Innocent Men in Njimbee Village, Bafut, Anglophone Cameroon

The French Cameroun Military continues to kill in innocent civilians in English-Cameroon(Ambazonia) almost nine years into the civil war which Africa’s oldest and most brutal dictator, Paul Biya, declared more than 8 years ago. The recent killings on 9 August 2025, incensed the population as the affected two were loveable men. Numfor Peter Ngwa commonly called Sheriet Ambnashibo and Ngwa Kingsly Ayunwi were hardworking men, who got up that morning to hustle for their families. Kingsly, a bike rider just left the hospital followings months of surgery. He wanted to look for money for school fees for his children. Mr. Peter on his part was from his garden to harvest vegetables for his breakfast meal.

EyeWitness Accounts

Eyewitness say the French Cameroun military that has no regard for Anglophone lives had slept in the bushes waiting for their ADF proxy kidnapping agents who frequent the village. One of the kidnapers was spotted with a gun and instead of the military targeting him alone, they aimed their bullets at the innocent villagers who were up that day to hustle for their lives. The bodies of the innocent men were pierced with bullets(See video attached below). Kingsly’s bike and other bikes were torched by the French Cameroun soldiers. who don’t exhibit such disregard for lives in the French-speaking zones of the Kameruns.

Zero Sanctions for the Sanguinary LRC Soldiers

The killings of these two innocent civilians mimics same actions carried out in the same village less than a year ago when another bike repairer was killed and a grand mother’s skull shattered by the same soldiers in the guise of looking for Ambazonia freedom fighters. After shattering her skull, the soldiers escorted her to her home to die, instead of taking her to a hospital. An act that highlights the French Cameroun soldiers disregard for Anglophones lives. Although the grand mother survived the shooting, she lost her mental alertness. She is mentally-unstable. The big question is DON’T ANY MILITARY OPERATION HAS ITS EVALUATIOPN AFTERWARDS? Why has the soldiers been free to abuse citizens in Anglophone Cameroon(Ambazonia) without any consequences?The answer is the disregard for Anglophone lives by the colonial French Cameroun soldiers backed by France. Below are images of the grand mother’s head shattered by the French Cameroun soldiers in Bafut, in August 2024. She was shot alongside bike repair man. The late Numfor Peter’s ypounger brother – Niba Vitalis, was innocently executed by the same French Cameroun military. They dressed him in their military attire and came and shot him in front of their family compound in the same Njimbee, Bafut(click here for the details),

Global Silence is a Shame

These “targeted killings” are evident in the killings and burning mostly in rural areas in English-speaking Cameroon, where the French-Speaking population is unlikely to be present. However, there are overwhelming evidence of genocide. These incorporates asking  entire villages to leave or be exterminated, calling English-speaking people dogs or terrorists (Click here), scorching entire communities (Click here),killing of innocent civilians (and justifying their extermination with fake Dane guns), mass raping (Click here) and purposeful humiliation like asking citizens to swim in mud, (Click here)among others.

These crimes have largely been under-reported by organizations that governments around the world depend on for informed decisions such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Crisis Group, Genocide Watch among others. These organizations that are still to independently and thoroughly investigate these killings continue to use fake figures from the government of Cameroun that has no credibility in the eyes of its own subjects, talk less of the global community. Despite social media evidence of these crimes, the continuous use of these fake figures have helped to an extent to reduce the conflict to a courtyard feud of two kids, thus providing cover for the continuous extermination of the English-speaking population with no remorse. Bold face lies of recent by the French-speaking Cameroun government include denial of its soldiers executing innocent women and children in the Northern part of the country (BBC, Click here), denial of killings of men-of-God among others (Read more at globalgong website). Since 2016 when the civil war between the minority English-speaking people and the majority French-speaking sections of the Kameruns, more than 54,000 people have been killed with more than 800 villages burnt by the French Cameroun soldiers.

Cameroun Military’s Forceful Use of Civilian Escorts and then Executing them: The Case of Neba Vitalis’ Killing

The inhumane tactics by the French Cameroun military in English Cameroon since the Civil war began in 2016 are varied – from placing guns on innocent civilians killed, dragging victims behind their trucks, beheadings, innocent civilians as human shields etc. The latest tactics is dressing up innocent civilians with military uniforms and forcing them as escort shields in their operations and then executing them. Neba Vitalis, was still recovering from torture from ADF Captivity in a village called Njimbi, near Bambui, where he was branded as a blacking. He was tortured for days, his family was demanded a ransom of ($1000)500,000cfa or his head will be placed on a pole. After borrowing about $400(200,000cfa), by his brother(equally tortured) with a pledge to complete the rest, Vitalis, regained his freedom in a frail state; coughing blood with sores all over his body from the torture he received from Ayaba Cho’s ADF under a certain Gen. Biabia(pics below). His freedom was without any identification documents like the usual government issued ID card, compulsory in the war-torn Bamenda.His tormentors had confiscated his ID card pending the completion of his ransom price. Those who saw him after his release knew he won’t survive. “I was coughing and at times urinating blood.” Vitalis tells a friend. Sympathizers who were just helping him seek medical help believed Vitalis will not die from his injuries. They were relieved that he finally was recuperating. (Below are some pictures of his lacerated body, swollen face and a text message to a friend about his ordeal at the hands of the kidnappers).

Down Comes the FrenchCameroun Military:

while conversing with a friend at Ngongham on the evening of 24 September 2024, the military accosted Vita and his friend. ” he stripped himself down to show the marks of torture from the kidnappers, and explained to them that they seized his ID card. He thought they will reason with him.” The friend tells investigators. Vitalis was pushed at gunpoint to the military van, and asked to lead them to the claimed torture location, accusing him of lying. Villagers Found a dead man in Military Fatigue, on 2 October 2024, in an advanced state of decomposition. First there was panic as the ADF kidnappers in the village, had promised to kill a military person and dump in the village, so the military can come in and brutalize the villagers who have tried in vain severally to evict the kidnappers from their community

Neba Vitalis’ Corpse in an advanced state of Decomposition

Vitalis was adorned with FrenchCameroun Military uniform and true to his word that he was tortured at an ADF camp in his own village, at gun point, led the military to the location where he was jailed and tortured; which was his late brothers abandoned house. Unable to locate the kidnappers as they had moved their jail to another house in the area, the military then emptied their bullets unto Vitalis. He was shot and dumped at a little bush in front of their family home. It was in their retreat that the Cameroun military spotted the new jail where some of the ADF boys were holding two hostages including business woman, Sama Hilda. The military then opened fire, which caught Sama Hilda. The ADF kidnappers flee as usual following the sound of military guns.

False Narratives of Military on Mission to Rescue Sama Hilda and Co.

Mrs. Sama Hilda

The narrative that the military went purposely to rescue Hilda and her co-victim is false. They are not the first victims of kidnapping in Bamenda. Worst of it, they are anglophones with no name nor CPDm recognition. The French Cameroun military that has no regard for anglophone lives could not risk their own lives to save inconsequential anglophones. Another version indicates that one of the kidnapped(teacher) was outside the ADF jail house when military arrived. Survivors of the ADF kidnappings from the area laughed at such ignorance. “These boys tie your eyes and administer a staple dose of torture, with promises to kill you until money comes. You have no freedom because they are afraid that you might escape.” A torture survivor narrates. Vitalis was buried in a shallow grave by his decomposing body by the villagers not knowing he was one of theirs. “They buried my husband like a dog.” the wife laments.

Vitali is the 5th Innocent person Killed or Maimed by the military in less than two months in the area

It was after the family could not communicate with Neba that investigations reveal that he was the one that the military had forcefully taken to the war front in their operations. Even after his killings, the Cameroun military as usual in their disregard for human life in the Anglophone regions, informed nobody. Vitalis is the 5th innocent civilians killed in the same area by the Cameroun Military, with none of the ADF kidnappers, touched prompting many to believe in the romance between the two. The villagers have been tortured and continue to be tortured daily by the ADF kidnappers. They fear for their own lives and praying for the day these kidnappers who are all strangers from other villages will just leave their community as the pain from them and the Cameroun military is unbearable.
