The Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia Strongly condemns the illegal abduction
of Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe and eight other officials by gunmen from la Republic du Cameroun at about
19:30 pm in Nera Hotels, (Ekwueme Road), in Abuja Nigeria on January 5, 2018. This criminal and illegal
abduction happened during a meeting being chaired by H.E. Sisiku Ayuk Tabe.
The abduction was carried out by La Republique du Cameroun’s Security Gunmen who sneaked into
Nigeria.
Those arrested along with the President include;
H.E. Sisiku Ayuk Tabe.
Dr. Nfor Ngala Nfor, Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC)
Dr. Fidelis Nde Che,
Dr. Henry Kimeng
Prof. Awasum
Dr. Cornelius Kwanga
Mr. Tassang Wilfred
Barrister Eyambe Elias
Dr. Ojong Okongho and
Barrister Nalowa Bih.

The President and his team were in a High Command meeting in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory of
Nigeria at the time the Cameroun Gunmen showed up at the Hotel. The meeting started at around 5pm,
Nigerian time. At around 7:30PM, the gunmen came into the Hotel and abducted all of them including
the President.
The meeting was scheduled to discuss the Southern Cameroons Refugee crisis in Nigeria and to
galvanize relief support for housing, medical and feeding in anticipation of the approaching rainy season.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has been notified of the incident and it is currently investigating the
situation. The Interim Government of the Southern Cameroons calls on all Southern Cameroonians to
remain calm as it pursues investigations.
Anglophones in Cameroon continue to be victims of extra judicial killings orchestrated by President Paul
Biya and his henchmen.
President Paul Biya and his henchmen must know that Anglophones in Cameroon will continue to assert
their right to self-determination and will hold Paul Biya to account on all the killings of Anglophones.
We call on Nigerian authorities to address this issue immediately and ensure that the Cameroun
government gunmen do not do any harm to them. We also call on the Nigerian authorities to investigate
this threat against its sovereignty by La Republique du Cameroun.
We call on the Nigerian government to guarantee the security of the more than 20,000 Anglophone
Cameroonian refugees in various camps in Nigeria.
