The targeted attack occurred early morning, 08 Jan 2025, along the Bamenda-Mbengwi road, as amba terrorists opened fire, killing the president of the Batibo driver’s union in Bamenda. The victim, identified as Mr. Robert, was brutally murdered around 6 am near Nchualam in the Bamenda.
According to eyewitnesses, Robert was traveling with three others when amba terrorists opened fire on their vehicle. While Akwa Robert lost his life, the other three occupants were surprisingly allowed to continue their journey. This raises questions as to the motive of the attack. It seems he was targeted for assassination, or a case of settling scores.
