The demise of Amba's General weapon has caused many to recount tales about the atrocities he committed while leading the Amba camp in Alabukam.
Known as someone who was generally very quiet and his moves not easily traceable, his actions left many to wonder the kind of man Weapon was.
Instead of using bikes as the traditional kidnapping tool, he opted for a jeep along with his second in command, Jason.
The attack earlier in the year 2024 that led to the robbery of Awing Cooperative Credit was orchestrated with the same jeep.
Workers were kidnapped for days and financial transactions were paralyzed.
Another Non-governmental organization, has its Hilux vehicle seized from them at gunpoint at Fon's street in Bamenda.

Cars recovered
Several attacks on business places, threats to pay Amba imposed liberation taxes, the inability to circulate freely in Bamenda with luxurious cars, and the frequent gunshots recorded in Bamenda of recent have been tagged to his name.
Others are reacting that their pious hope is for the incessant burning of taxis that have been the order of the day to stop.
The most heinous crime that is associated with Weapon and Jason is the killing of the Second Deputy Mayor of Bamenda II.
Reactions the Observer has gathered attest that the deceased Mayor was kidnapped with the Prado Jeep and later killed on October 27th October 2024.
Commander Mami also neutralized
The Observer can confirm that before the killing of General Weapon, one of his associates who was involved in the killing of the Deputy Mayor was arrested in early November and has undergone three weeks of serious interrogation from the Defense and security forces.
The population of Mbengwi cannot access their homeland through Alabukam for over a year now. The road has been blocked and people are forced to pass through Bali to reach Bamenda. The distance from Mbengwi to Bamenda is less than an hour but commuters now need to go through Bali wasting more time and incurring additional cost.
Those who intend to use the road through Alabukam, meet a very stiff control post with armed men mostly smoking marijuana.
Editor's Note:
The Editorial Team of The Observer has decided not to mention the names of those who reacted to the previous story. The name of the NGO and other persons who were victims. Reactions came from across the board.
