An atmosphere of uncertainty now looms in Tiben
village, Batibo (Momo Division) of the North West Region where six men have died
and one reportedly in critically condition after consuming local liquor, “Mbuh”.
What is however intriguing is that the
liquor is widely consumed in Batibo and tons are transported to other parts of
the country on daily basis. The former mayor of Batibo Tenoh Lawrence is quoted
to have confirmed the info adding that the seven men had consumed palm wine
from raffia palm on Saturday July 1, 2017 and as it is always the tradition, “they
also ate Kola nuts,” he added. Cameroon
News Agency reports that the six people were found dead Sunday morning July 2,
2017 and one of them by name Tenoh Emmanuel is critically sick. Tenoh Emmanuel
we gathered is currently at the Saint John of God hospital on intensive medical
care. The Divisional Officer for Batibo, State Counsel and some Gendarmes descended
on the site of incident to evaluate the damages and causes. Tongues are still
waging in Batibo as to what happened to the liquor as the exact cause of the deaths
is still to be established When News Breaks Out, We Break In. (The 2014 Bloggies Finalist)
