Question: What should we do to a Government and people who kill, and often in cold blood, our brothers and sisters, but still deny us the possibility to give them a decent burial? What should we do when even our love ones whose lives are brutally cut-short by the annexationist are not allowed to Rest in Peace?

ANSWER: The Answer is simple: SOCADEF.
On May 17th, 2003, during the funeral of erstwhile National Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council, the SCNC and Veteran Politician, Dr. Martin Ngeka Luma, the enemies of peace and freedom descended upon the mourners and turned the solemn ceremony to a war zone. Fifteen SCYL and SCNC members were brutally molested, stripped naked and detain at the gendarmerie brigade in Tiko:

• Maxwell Oben Eyong - Special envoy of SCYL Leader


• Anthony Lambiv Takwa


• Shey George Yufenyuy


• Augustine Dzeni Shyintum


• Yakubu Kisi


• Emmanuel Fesuh


• Emmanuel Shinyuy


• Michael Tse Fru


• Julius Nugap


• Martin Nji Menang


• Henry Yembe Lamnyam


• Cecilia Ngwatom


• Evaristus Nweti


• Martin Chiakissiah. Wango



And five equally brutalised were barely lucky to escape detention:

• Stephen Kongso


• Amadou Ndam


• Ambe Yvusimbom Yuinwe


• Pa Henry Nya


• Chief Ayamba Ette Otun

Question Why were they arrested?

Answer: They were accused of wearing unauthorised Southern Cameroons Tee-Shirts and for showing so much grief for the dead of the SCNC leader. In a Nutshell, they were accused of weeping too much What accusations! What tyranny!
