"When they say you got your civil status documents from Kumba, then it means what it means." Believe it or not, this statement is not from an ordinary Cameroonian like some of us.
We will not disclose the name of the official who made this statement. Not even under duress. That a town has "gained" so much notoriety as (one if not ) the greatest hotbed of crime in the South West, is not a trifling matter. Hear the Government Delegate to the Kumba City Council: "Use an iron first, Mr. SDO, to flush out vandals, robbers and 'feymen' from the city of Kumba !" These statements, made recently during the commissioning of the incoming SDO for Meme, need no further interpretation or explanation.
