(Business in Cameroon) - At Tiko port, in the Southwest region, Cameroon, customs recently seized 400 Diana-branded ammunitions hidden among food products.

According to customs, the vessel transporting those ammunitions was from neighbouring Nigeria. The suspects have been arrested.

Let’s note that the Southwest is one of the two Anglophone regions currently affected by pro-independence claims. Sources usually claim that the separatists are backed by pro-Biafra militants in Nigeria.
