Cameroon assumes control Nigerian Akwa Ibom Communities

Cameroonian government has purportedly powerfully assumed control parts of Nigeria's Akwa Ibom State not secured by the first judgment to surrender part of the Bakasi Peninsular to the Central African nation taking after a choice of the International Court of Justice (ICC) in The Hague in 2002.

As consequence of this, more than 350 oil wells and angling pots have hence been seized, denying Nigeria of potential incomes from these benefits.

Unverified report has it that the general population of Effiat tribe in Mbo Local Government Area of the state guarantee the Cameroon government in a urgent endeavor to surrender their groups have tricked their town heads into tolerating Cameroonian citizenship with records recognizing their headship.

The Cameroonian government, which has for at some point now guaranteed a few sections of the state, are said to have worked through some ravenous town heads at whatever point the general population opposed paying assessment to their legislature.

These town heads are said to have been issued 'reports of affirmation' with letterheads of the Republic of Cameroon.

Etim Okon, an Indigene of Effiat Clan, in a visit with Independent, suspects that the archives issued by the Cameroon powers are fake, adding that they do this to get the general population's agree and to display the domain as Cameroonian region as outskirt outline in the middle of Nigeria and Cameroon is continuous.

The Cameroonian gendarmes, as per Okon, have taken outright control of the Akwa Ibom regions, which had never been a part of the islands the Federal Government surrendered to Cameroon.

"None of the Effiat 16 towns had been surrendered to Cameroon when Bakassi Peninsula was surrendered to Cameroon by the International Court of Justice at the Hague in 2002," he said.

He included, "Effiat is a region in Akwa Ibom State and not some portion of Cross River, where Bakassi Peninsula turned into an issue."
