Nigeria hands over Bakassi peninsula to Cameroon

update: june 13 2008 1421 :: Cameroon military officer ambushed and killed in Bakassi Peninsula

The Federal Government will tomorrow handover the sovereignty of the oil rich Bakassi Peninsula formally to Cameroon amidst fierce opposition from indigenes of the local government area in Cross River State.

Effort by some prominent persons in the area to stop the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon met brick wall yesterday before an Abuja Federal High Court as Justice Mohammed Garba Umar refused to grant their oral application praying the court to issue an order maintaining the status quo.
