Actually, Bakassi belongs to the Balondobakonja in Cameroon and therefore a natural Cameroonian territory. Its people, the Isangele, identify with the Balondobakonja, a fraternal relationship that is more than 700 years old. Having said that, it is important to note that the Cameroonian gendarmes believe in Law and Order as much as they are good and kind-hearted. So, all they are doing is their job in a territory that was once lawless when it was illegally occupied by Nigeria. Get over it Nigerians and stop inciting/instigating unnecessary conflict. You need to be solving your crime-ravaged cities rather than be policing Bakassi, a proper Cameroonian territory.
Govt claim that Bakassi people are Nigerians is deceitful. If they were really Nigerians Obasanjo wouldn't have sold their ancestral land to Elf France. Rtd. Gen. Yakubu Gowon leased the peninsula to Cameroun under the control of his brother defunct Pres. Ahmadou Ahidjo to intercept provisions to Biafran soldiers through the bite-of-biafra. But OBJ in 2002 sold the land of the Effics to France in 2002
The people of Bakassi should defend themselves and don't believe any deceit promise from either Nigerian or Cameroun govt. Both nations are under siege by kleptocratic leaders. The solution is to join the fight for Ambazonia / Federal Republic of Anglophone Cameroon. Kleptocrats and Multinational companies in Extraction industry are ganged-up on evicting and displacing people in Africa for natural resources. Bakassi should team up with MEND fighter from the creek of the Niger-Delta to deal ruthlessly with these enemies of Black-man
