The Chairman also added that the foreign soldiers have been harassing and intimidating Nigerians on their own soil, reports revealed.

The foreign soldiers were sighted in Mairogo and Tosso communities, Amamzalla John Danladi Joseph added.
“The residents of Mairogo and Tosso villages were repeatedly intimidated by the Cameroonian soldiers who claimed they were searching for Ambazonian agitators who fled Cameroon at the heat of their clash recently and took refuge in some communities in the area,” Joseph said.
The chairman also said he, the Commanding Officer in charge of the Nigerian Army 93 Battalion in Takum council of the state, and no fewer than 60 soldiers had visited the villages.
