Nkambe in Donga-Mantung Division is considered as the most secured town in the armed conflict-hit Anglophone regions. Since the start of the Anglophone armed conflict in 2016, the schools have been going on there without any problem. Many internally displaced persons from Kumbo and several towns in the region have been seeking refuge in the area.
In the early hours of 9 February 2021, the attackers set a section of the school ablaze and the fire consumed an entire block of classrooms. Given tight security within Nkambe town, the population has been wondering how the suspected separatist fighters sneaked into the town.
It is worthy to note that since the start of the Anglophone crisis in 2016, ghost towns and school boycott calls have never been respected in Nkambe. The schools have been going on there and activities have been going on smoothly on Mondays.
