He has been laid to rest at his recently constructed home at the Centerbolt neighbourhood.
The late taxi driver whose name we got as Tamasang was found dead along a bushy road at the Ntabang neighbourhood in Nkwen without his taxi early on Monday 11 April 2022. With his taxi not seen till now, conclusions are that he was killed and his taxi taken away. Concerned citizens transported his remains to the Bamenda Regional Hospital Mortuary passing through his Centerbolt residence where many wailed in disbelief.
No official sources have made any statement on the gruesome death of the taxi driver. Many who turned out for the funeral have condemned the art questioning they couod not collect the taxi and keep him alive.
"This is just a shame for us. How can we be living in such a society where life has become so meaningless? Must they kill him to collect his Taxi? I pray my God, his killers will not know peace. Shame to them." A mourner said
