Popular Kumbo resident killed in Melim farm shooting
Kumbo, Cameroon ( CNA)- News reaching CNA confirmed the death of Nyuyki Hans, a beloved young man from Kumbo, in a shooting incident on Wednesday evening.
Hans was reportedly shot dead on his farm in Melim, a village 30 minutes from Kumbo. The perpetrators remain unidentified at this point.
The ongoing armed conflict in the Northwest and Southwest regions since 2017 makes it difficult to determine if the attackers were government soldiers or separatist fighters who have strongholds throughout the region.
The 30-year-old businessman was known for his positive attitude and generosity, readily helping those in need. He leaves behind a wife and children.
The lack of immediate identification of the perpetrators adds to the community’s tension and fear as both sides play the pontius pilate to suit their agenda.
