Nigeria In One Minute
Why Police arrested leaders of Cameroon separatist movement in Nigeria
Nigerian Police Force, NPF, has explained that leaders of Cameroon’s Separatist Movement who were arrested within Nigeria’s territory flouted the nation’s laws by operating training camps in Nigeria.
Vanguard’s investigation revealed that members of the Cameroon’s Christian Secessionist group, who were agitating an “Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB-styled” independent movement, were arrested in both Taraba and Cross River states.
The two states have boundaries with the Southern parts of Cameroon hence there is easy access to Nigeria.
According to a Police source, “the government of Nigeria cannot be seen to be habouring separatists from a neighbouring Country like Cameroon when both countries are cooperating and jointly fighting to uproot Boko Haram terrorists who are insurgents trying to impose their own Islamic state in the North east”.
