Nigeria’s High Commissioner in
Cameroun, Ambassador Hadisa Mustapha has said there are four million
hardworking Nigerians in that country.
She made the disclosure onboard
Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) OKPABANA at the weekend in Douala, during a dinner
with Nigeria’s contingent to exercise Obangame/Saharan Express.
Describing as untrue the allegation
of hostilities against Nigerians in Cameroun, Mustapha stated that the
relationship between both countries has improved significantly since the
conclusion of the rivalry over Bakassi Peninsula.
“The seeming hostility against
Nigerians in Cameroun are mere allegations. There are four million hardworking
Nigerians here. We have professional Nigerians, business people and people in
the car, spareparts businesses. We also have professional in the international
organisations, teachers and clergymen.
“As an Embassy, we get report on all
issues concerning Nigerians and we have three missions here – two consulate and
the High Commission.
“I want to say that there is a lot
of improvement in the situation with Nigerians. This started from the end of
Bakassi. Definitely, there are a few issues and most have to do with
immigration status of Nigerians.
“I do not want to say it is trend
that is so rampant or that it is an issue against Nigerians per se. Every
country has its own policies and security measures. With the security
challenges around, every country is trying to do its best to curb crime and
criminality.
“As a mission, we are very much in
touch with our community. We meet with them often and whenever they bring their
problems, we take the matter to the authorities and they listen to us,” she
said.
Mustapha commended the navy for its
participation in the exercise, noting that aside showcasing its military might,
the ship has promoted maritime diplomacy.
“This is the second Obangame Express
I have witnessed. It is always nice to see our ship in harbour of a foreign
country flying our flag. The exercise itself is very important for our
military, particularly the navy to show we have full control of our maritime
domain.
“It is also a very good way of
promoting maritime diplomacy. So, we are very happy and proud to have NNS
OKPABANA here,” she said.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
