Adolf Ngbe Ebong is a 62 year-old retired policeman, whose farm in Babensi II has been seized by SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon (SGSOC). He shows here a log cleared by SGSOC.
He is part of a collective complaint that has been filed on 27 September 2016 in the First court of Instance in Bangem against SGSOC for trespass to land. 13 farmers of Babensi II and 231 farmers from Nguti filed this complaint – their hearing will start on 9 November. “One day, I came to my farm and I found that they had bulldozed everything. I knew I was going to develop this place to earn my living and when I die, my children would remain there, but today, I have no place. We are all crying here, and we don’t know how we can be rescued”, he said.
