Wilson Elong Njumenjikang, newly commissioned North West Regional Delegate for National Security for the crisis-hit North West Region has been tasked to set up police intelligence units in the region in order to expose hideouts of separatist fighters and other armed gangs wreaking havoc on the innocent population.
"I exhort you to invest in intelligence to decamp separatist hideouts, tracking of channels of smuggling of arms and improvised explosive devices," the police boss instructed, stating that it will help reduce the pro-secessionist sentiments in the region as well as fight “banditry, kidnappings, disturbance of public order through attacks on public and private property”.
Talking to reporters shortly after taking command, Njumenjikang, said he was aware of the task ahead especially after living the same situation of insecurity in Kumba, in Meme Division where he served as Central Police Commissioner.
“…I have lived a similar situation in Kumba and I am sure with the collaboration of the population we shall together make Bamenda and the Northwest the most peaceful in the Cameroon,” he said.
"…for four years it hasn't been easy but it is our role to collectively make our town peaceful. As such, I operate in a three Ps strategy which is Police, Population, and Partnership (PPP). The police are not magicians, the partnership we have with the population is very important and that is what will make us succeed. Without the population, we cannot succeed, Bamenda will see Peace through the "Police-Population Partnership, he said” while pledging to be at their service of the population at all times.
He takes over from Gousmo Emile who has served in the position for ten years. The outgone regretted his departure especially after becoming so used to the customs and ways of the people but urged all his collaborators to give the incoming the same support that was accorded him in order for him to succeed in his assignment.
Born 26 November 1973, Njumenjikang, a graduate from the University of Buea’s department of Journalism and Mass Communication joined the police force in 2001 and upon completion of his 2-year training began his career in 2003 in Yaounde.
He served in Garoua between 2011-2014 as assistant Commissioner before his appointment to Kumba in 2014 as police boss where he served until his recent promotion to the NW as regional delegate.
