Varsity teachers jailed in Cameroon seek Tinubu’s, Reps’ help to regain freedom

The professors said even though they lived and worked in Nigeria for a long time, they were abducted from their homes by Cameroonian security men working in collaboration with their Nigerian counterparts and extradited to Cameroon.

In the petition submitted to the House Committee on Public Petition, the university teachers urged the parliament to liaise with the President to deploy other means to secure their release from detention in Cameroon. They begged the Federal Government of Nigeria to ensure the implementation of Communication 59/2022 of October 14, 2022 of the UN-HRC-WGAD to facilitate their release.According to them, the Government of Nigeria needs to take action and implement the rulings in the three judgments of the Federal High Court of Abuja in 2019 which ordered the release and compensation of these petitioners.

The petition added: “Cause the Nigeria Government to take action and urgently initiate proceedings before the ICJ and other international jurisdictions citing la République du Cameroon to be sanctioned for fraudulent misrepresentation during the Bakassi Peninsula case in the ICJ.
