New Police Boss Instructed To Enforce The Law

By Chris Mbunwe

The Delegate General of National Security, Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo'o, has instructed the new Provincial Delegate of National Security for the Northwest, Jean Louis Messing, 43, to relentlessly maintain law and order.

He was particularly urged to quell the current agitation in the Social Democratic Front, SDF, party, and other political parties in the Province.

Commissioning Messing at the Bamenda Commercial Avenue grandstand, Wednesday, October 18, the Delegate General exhorted Messing to keenly maintain law and order at all times, curb highway robbery, fabrication of local guns and check political agitation among political parties.

Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi said the Delegate General's reference to the turbulence in the SDF was "good and fine. Good because the outgoing police boss, Nkili, observed the deliberations of the SDF Convention in Bamenda last May 26, and submitted his report to heirachy as he told me."

Fru Ndi said he would appreciate if the new police officer will check excesses of political parties. Asked why in the past he boycotted similar installation ceremonies for close to 13 years and decided to attend this particular one, Fru Ndi said he wanted to see Commissioner Joachim Nkili off because he "served the people of Bamenda diligently.

He was very cooperative and I can recall that before he was contacted to ensure security when my wife died, he had long dispatched the police all over." This is the only police commissioner who came to town and made his first stop at my residence at Ntarinkon indicating that he was going to cooperate with us.

This was first of its kind. So I came to see off a man who was under the sun and rain with his colleagues controlling traffic in town, and who tried, in his own little way, to fight crime given the means at his reach."

In an earlier speech, Government Delegate to the Bamenda Council Abel Ndeh told the new Northwest police boss that he was going to work with the Bamenda people: "who always insist on their rights" and as such he should, without compromise, watch every move during his stay in the Province.

"If you get to understand them you will leave happily with them," Ndeh said.

How can a colonial delegate of national security and his subordinate whom by Law are under a territory they have illegally annexed (The Southern Cameroons) be preaching about Law and Order? Wonders shall never end. These criminals whose whole life has been based on injustice affecting the poor and helpless are here bold enough to preach Law and Order.

The Bastards came in from the metropol state with Annexation baton and a new flatfoot sustainer of the machine,and turn round to preach law and order while doing the flipside.They will be taught a lesson with time.The fulmination for Liberation must continue and must transcend its crescendo.
