A lawmaker in Cameroon's parliament, Senator Haman Paul told Voice Of America

"There was something that we witnessed in Maroua (in northern Cameroon). People told us that they found people in town that were not actually people they were used to. When we found that one part of the country is in a very delicate situation, it is better to manage prevention instead of consequences,”
