Cameroon: At least nine corpses discovered in Mamfe

The corpses of at least nine young men were discovered in Mamfe, Manyu Division of the South West region on Monday morning, sources have confirmed.

Local sources said at least four corpses were discovered at Okoyong, three at Besongabang and one at Banya quarter while another around a primary school.  Gruesome images which we got showed young men in their mid twenties lying in their own pool of blood.

Circumstances surrounding their demise are still not clear but locals say sporadic gunshots were heard last night in Mamfe while others talk of a military raid in the area.

Gunshots were equally heard in Mamfe early this morning as several residents preferred to remain indoors for their sfaety.

Last week, a boy in his twenties succumbed to a stray bullet during an exchange of fire between security forces and armed separatist fighters in Mamfe.
