"The situation of the Northwest region is under control despite the security challenges we are facing in some hotspots. We have drawn with the security services and the admistrative authorities a plan to not only secure the  region ahead of the festive period but also to ease the implementation of the electoral process in the Northwest region" His Excellency Adolph Lele Lafrique said while granting an interview to pressmen after a close door security meeting.

He further said  elections Cameroon has the task to safeguard elections by handling all security issues they can but also tabling difficult ones to the higher authorities.


 The governnor also congratulated all the newly appointed SDOs who were at the meeting.

The security meeting was taking place on the eve of a national peace caravan for sensitization of proposals of the grand national dialogue. The forum was thus crucial to adjust an ugly situation in the Northwest where atrocities like rape, kidnap, robbery and murder are the day's agenda.
