In a fiery missive addressed to the self-styled general on April 18, Mark Bareta officially revoked the title of Field Marshal, calling on others to henceforth treat the armed fighter with scorn owing to his “shameful” pursuits.

“I hereby state forcefully that Field Marshal, Oliver of the Lebialem County is not worthy of the title,” Bareta thundered.

“He has brought disgrace and shame in the name of the Ambazonia Forces. He has become too partisan and Ambazonia does not need a fighter like him. On my name, on this date, I hereby popularly strip you off the title of Field Marshal and for the first time, I will ask you to reconsider being an Ambazonia fighter, take a retreat and do self-examination.”

Bareta advises Field Marshal to leave the Lebialem forests and join his blood brother Chris Anu in Maryland. Anu is Secretary for Communication and IT at the Interim Government of Ambazonia hitherto led by jailed Julius Ayuk Tabe.

Hear Bareta: “I call on all sister forces not to accord him such respect of Field Marshall anymore and if necessary pull him out of all defense groups. Oliver may now leave and join his brother and his group in Maryland as a politician so that he can continue the surrogacy there.

“Oliver may consider this as a safe passage because I know this plan of action is/was already on the way from his end. Now, Oliver has an excuse: You can now say Mark Bareta asks you to leave and I accept.”

Bareta says Field Marshal’s dismissal follows audios in which Lekeaka Oliver alias Field Marshal and his brother Chris Anu accuse Julius Ayuk Tabe of plunging the people of Cameroon’s North West and South West Regions into a war that has brought untold suffering and pain to the masses.

“…listening to the audios coming from the Field Marshal of Lebialem with all types of lies and insults on President Sisiku Ayuk Julius Tabe, one cannot stay silent anymore. It seems henceforth, we will be commenting openly on acts committed by our forces no matter the name or group. This will surely help them become the best versions of themselves.

“It was shameful listening to the audios made by Field Marshal stating that Sisiku declared the war. I thought it was Biya who declared the war. How come Oliver is saying otherwise? Oliver goes to the extent of saying that Sisiku was taken out of the prison few days back to sign a Federation deal plus all types of lies on Sisiku I could not even say here… And this is somebody that has murdered 100, 200, 300 Cameroun soldiers in his dream and the Sako-IG supporters will go ranting on media knowing fully well they are outright lies,” said Bareta.

Bareta ends by describing as a “bunch of ungrateful bastards” Samuel Ikome Sako who passes for President of the Ambazonia Interim Government as well as Chris Anu and his brother Oliver Lekeaka.

Cameroon-Info.Net recalls that on February 8, 2020, Paul Tasong, Cameroon’s Minister Delegate to the Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development, described Field Marshall as an illusion.

“I insist that the so-called Field Marshal is an illusion. He has long escaped from Lebialem and is begging us to help him obtain a passport so he can leave the country. His brother, Christopher Anu has gone back to his alleluia church in Texas from where he is preaching death. The Red Dragons is a propaganda machine to divert our attention while they steal our wealth,” said Tasong.

“We can no longer allow a family of highway robbers control our destiny. Lekeaka has broken into every credit union bank in Lebialem and stolen the savings of the entire population. His brother has swindled funds raised in America by his cohorts to burn down our beautiful Cameroon. Their sister was arrested as FCFA 366 million of stolen money from Lebialem and the diaspora was traced to have landed in her bank account. They are confiscating the cocoa harvested by the hard working Lebialem farmers.”
