Cameroonian Gendarmes Take Over 16 Communities in Akwa-Ibom, Hoist Flag

The Cameroonian government has allegedly forcefully taken over parts of Akwa Ibom State not covered by the original judgment to cede part of the Bakasi Peninsular to the Central African country following a decision of the International Court of Justice (ICC) in The Hague in 2002. More than 350 oil wells and fishing pots have consequently been seized, depriving Nigeria of potential revenues from these assets.
