The newly-crowned Village Head of the Belegete community in Obanliku LGA of Cross River State, Chief John Abraham narrated their ordeal in the hands of the Ambazonian separatist fighters two weeks ago.

The Ambazonia fighters had invaded the Belegete and Okwa villages penultimate week.

The community is hilly and deep in the depth.

They had terrorised, raped, maimed and abducted over 120 of the locals, killing the village head, Chief Francis Okweshi in the process, not done, they occupied the village for the next two weeks without any help from the Nigerian authorities because of the inaccessible terrain.

He narrated his experiences, saying it was a bizarre display of manโ€™s inhumanity to man.

He narrated their ordeal in the hands of Ambazonian separatists when a Socio-Cultural group, Who is Who in Northern Cross River visited them with food items at their temporary camp on the famous Obudu Mountain Resort.

According to him, โ€œThe people of Belegete are a peace-loving community and were peacefully carrying on their daily activities when the devil struck on that fateful day.

โ€œPeople who were returning from their farms, markets, and other personal endeavours were attacked mercilessly and some were killed while others were maimed.

โ€œI can tell you that the attack was unprovoked and unwarranted. The people of Belegete did not know anything about the Ambazonian separatists until the attack on their community.

โ€œAs a border community, we have seen people crisscrossing the area for their businesses without any hindrance. But on this black day, they were attacked by unknown gunmen.โ€

โ€They were later informed that they were fleeing separatists from Cameroon and were in search of shelter and supplies.โ€

Abraham called on the federal government to as a matter of urgency provide the community with basic infrastructures such as motorable roads, police posts or better still a joint security post.

According to him, the Belegete community is rich in mineral resources yet to be tapped because of inaccessibility to the place.

He commended the group for the visit which he described as sacrificial, and for coming with his delegation with food items.
