The ecumenical service which was officiated by clergies from five different Christian denominations and the Muslim Imams brought together militants and sympathizers of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement-CPDM, as well as traditional rulers, ardors and Christians. This service which took place in the vicinity of the newly constructed Misaje Community Hall was attended by over 10.000 people. The organizers say the ecumenical service took place in an open esplanade as a way to respect government measures to mitigate the spread of covid 19.

While the second prayer point was to share in the sorrows of the incident in Kumba and at the same time, make the Misaje Appeal that children should be given the chance to go to school. The prayers also centered around thanking God for the peace that has reigned in Misaje in particular and Donga Mantung Division in general. The population also used the opportunity to thank God for preserving Cameroon from Covid-19 and that His Mercy should be on Cameroon so that many people should not suffer from the pandemic as it has been witnessed in some countries around the globe. The clergies and Imams ended the ecumenical service by praying for normalcy to return to Cameroon especially in the North West and South, in the Extreme North as well as every other thing that is affecting this country so that all should be well.

He used the opportunity to congratulate the people of Misaje and equally send the message of peace from Minister Fuh Calistus, in which he stated that Misaje is happy with all ad sundry for the peace that reigns there. He supported this argument by stating that in Misaje subdivision, all the traditional rulers, fons, local party officials live in their homes. Besides that, he continued that Misaje subdivision is hosting students and pupils from other places who are going to school and its time for peace to be given a chance for children to go to school. The vigilantic group was also applauded for their contribution in peace building. He reiterated the fact that peace will enable the completion of the stretch of the Ring road from Kumbo through Ndu to Nkambe and Misaje.
