In a tragic incident in Nkwen, Bamenda, gendarmes mistakenly opened fire after confusing the sound of a modified motorcycle for gunfire. This occurred at Mile 4 Junction around 8 PM on October 27, 2024. The gunfire resulted in the immediate death of a civilian and left another person injured. The confusion arose when a motorcycle with a customized sound repeatedly passed through the area, making loud noises that resembled gunfire. A local food vendor at the scene recounted that the bike rider had modified the sound of his motorcycle to mimic gunshots, which led to the gendarmes’ reaction.
