Following the Esu land saga with Baba Danpullo, the administration of the Northwest region is doing all to settle the dispute amicably and organized a meeting in that respect.
In attendance were some youths who support Baba Danpullo amongst others at the SDO office in Wum to take part in a committee meeting by the North West Administration.
The meeting is to look at the 10,000 ha of land dispute between Esu people and Alhaji Baba Danpullo.
With all methods used by Ahmadou Danpullo to own the disputed 10,000ha of Land in Esu is failing. Our investigation has uncovered information from a reliable source that Alhaji Baba Ahmadou Danpullo has embarked on another route which he is not new to.
He has sought favour with some sons of Esu whom we understand for their personal interest have been on the side of Ndawara to the disfavour of Esu, whose youths have accused them of abandoning their struggle to retain their village land from Danpullo.
The owner of Elba ranch is using Barrister Lang Peter and Ndze Robert Meh Buh to destabilized the Esu youth movements and create confusion in the Fondom; like he did in Babangki -kejom- keku in 2005, a trick that resulted in the lynching Fon Vugah ll.
In Esu, Baba Danpullo has teamed up with some of the children of the former Fon of Esu Joseph Meh Buh and are slowly recruiting his followers. Our source say Barrister Dinga Lang Peter, Ndze Robert Meh Buh, Kum a Ngwoh Pascal, King Yello, Kpwe Napoleon, Romanus Meh Buh, Aloysius Meh Ngem, Meh Robert Ndze Meh Buh, Joseph Kelly Gam, Ndzo Christopher, Fuh Alex Bih Sih Njua form part of the Danpullo’s team that is fighting to see Esu that Esu land dispute favours Forbes magazine's richest man in francophone Africa.
Our source who is very close to this team says Baba Danpullo has promised the above-named youths CFA 500,000 each in favour if they disrupt all youth activities in Esu evolving around the 10,000 ha land saga and allow him gain access.
To confirm our source, we understand that Mr Ndze Robert Meh Buh( a son of Esu) has sent a letter to Dze Usu in which he accuses the Esu people of invading Baba Ahmadou Danpullo’s land, something which our investigation proofs neither the court nor the administration have concluded on.
Our informer continues that Mr Danpullo is prepared to invest 100 million cfa to sow a seed of confusion in Esu and is planning a coup to dethrone the Fon of Esu. We believe the Fon, on the other hand, has a great disregard for him in his quest to own what is not his, as asserted by the Administrative Head (SDO) of Menchum Division on December 29, 2015, in the presence of the Northwest Governor Lele Lafrique who was chairing the meeting in the SDO’S office in Wem.
In attendance was the Northwest administration, Fon of Esu, and other stakeholders in a ‘conclave’ to resolve the long-standing land dispute between Cameroon’s richest man and the Esu people.
During the meeting, the Senior Divisional officer for Menchum (SDO), Benoit Williams Emvotou Bita, bluntly told the owner of Ndawara tea estate, “Mr. Danpullo, you do not have any legal document on the land you claim in Esu”.
Baba Ahmadou Danpullo got aggressive and threatened to ensure the SDO is sacked for refusing to reason with him. And that he (Baba Danpullo) had ‘forces’ and the power to plant pillars.
North-West Governor firmly called Baba Ahmadou Daupllo (BAD) to order and warned him against making threats stating that he (BAD) could go to prison like some ministers.
Alhji Ahmadou Danpullo also challenged Mr Philip Kpwe, the youth leader of Esu to a fistfight in the presence of the administrative and traditional authorities present at the meeting in the Menchum SDO’S office.
Before embarking on this new trick to get the disputed land via few 'black legs' of Esu’s own sons, we noted that Baba A Danpullo had petitioned the head of state, the prime minister's office, the Minister of Interior (MINAT) in an effort to over-rule the regional authorities asking for Yaounde to intervene.
“Since the relationship between the governor and me deteriorated, it is firing on all angles to raise the voltage to Elba ranch annex Esu. It was clear that he was going to create more problems for me. With the complicity of the Governor of the Northwest region, the populations of Esu engaged cultivation of food crops and buildings within the grounds of my ranch, under the knowing eyes of the local administration,” wrote Ahmadou Danpullo.
The CPDM regime in Yaounde ignored his request and referred him back to the local authorities.
Last week, the same Alhaji Ahmadou Danpullo alias Ndawara visited the Prime Minister to complain about the head of MINAT for the North West Region but was referred back to the Governor.
