Some four militants of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement , MRC were arrested in Mbanga in the Littoral region by security forces after a standoff during their meeting on April 27, 2025.
According to the MRC National Communications Secretary, Emmanuel Joseph Ateba,security officials under the orders of the sub-prefect of Mbanga, stormed their meeting requesting for authorization. They dispersed the crowd and arrested four militants.
Eyewitnesses report say the CRM militants, who had gathered for the meeting, were caught off guard and their resistance led to a chaotic scene.
