Mr. Danlami, a former CPDM Municipal Councillor of the Lagdo Municipal Council from 1996-2002 has finally been nabbed by security forces in Garoua.
Danlami who lost his municipal seat in the 2002 local elections has spent his time trying to hinder Mayor Mama Abakai from running the Lagdo council.
After the arrest of Minister Marafa Hamidou Yaya, the same Danlami,told the Cameroon secret service that former Minister Marafa had illegally placed some 200 millions francs in the Lagdo council coffers. Investigations into that allegation proved futile.
Our informant deep within the Cameroon secret service revealed, frustrated by his attempts to get Mayor Abakai out of the way, Danlami decided to join a terrorist group close to the "Selekas" of the Central African Republic and they decided to kidnap the Mayor of Lagdo (seen here on photo) and 8 other persons including 4 women of which 4 are top CPDM officials of the CPDM Benoue West constituency.
The hostages were taken into a hide-out between Cameroon's Garoua Boulai, the Central African Republic and the Southern part of Chad.
The hostage takers besides asking for a ransome, which Danlami, expects to get a big chunk, are also demanding the release of Barristers Harrisou and Aboubakar Sidik, held by Cameroon's intelligence forces for complicity with terrorists groups who are out to destabilize Cameroon.
This same terrorist group operating on Cameroon's north eastern border with the Central African Republic, have also kidnapped some 100 persons from the Mayo Rey Division-the constituency of Senate Vice President, the Lamido of Rey Bouba. Cameroon Concord's Rita Akana is keeping an eye on this developing story.
