Archbishop Andrew Fuanya Nkea of the Catholic Archdiocese of Bamenda in Cameroon has expressed his solidarity and spiritual closeness with families and victims of a bomb blast in a market in his Episcopal See that left one person dead.
The Thursday, September 19 incident at Nkwen market in Bamenda left six others injured, including a baby, Cameroon’s MimiMefo Infos reported.
“Around 11:00a.m., a group of armed terrorists, who had taken refuge around the Nkwen market in Bamenda III Sub-Division, detonated an improvised Explosive Device, killing one person, Ms. Chung Juliet, a 30-year-old lady, and wounding six (06) other civilians, amongst whom was an eleven-month-old baby,” the Senior Divisional Officer (SDO) for Mezam in the North West region, Simon Emile Mooh, has been quoted as saying in a September 19 press release.
In a Friday, September 20 statement, Archbishop Nkea says he learned with a “heavy heart the horrific explosion that occurred at Mile 2 Nkwen.”
