Lives with husband and children
Arrived in Bamenda in 2018 from Oukou where there was conflict between non state armed groups and state security forces. They kidnapped her husband for a month and demanded ransom of 300k CFA Franc as ransom for his release. He spent 3 weeks in hospital due to physical assault during his kidnap. They left Oukou. Before that all happened, he had a car and he was a taxi driver. Non state armed groups took everything including the car. The house they are currently staying in on Bamenda belongs to a relative who moved to Canada with her family. They’re paying a token amount as rental.
She’s the sole income earner at the moment, sewing clothes. Her husband is still trying to find a job.
