The governor of Maï-Ndombe province, Lebon Nkoso Kevani, has announced plans to install a police sub-commissariat in the village of Baambe Belale, located in the Bolia sector of Inongo territory. This move aims to improve security for the local population. The announcement was made during an audience with Serge Nsongi Mabruk, the sector chief of Bolia, on Monday evening. According to administrative sources, the governor's decision was conveyed to the ACP on Tuesday.
The installation of the sub-commissariat is a response to the security concerns in the area, which have been exacerbated by recent incidents. Serge Nsongi Mabruk revealed that the governor also ordered the arrest of individuals responsible for acts of violence and aggression in the territory. The sector chief emphasized that such incidents have been ongoing since last year, when he and the group leader were attacked and detained for two days.
The lack of arrests and prosecution of perpetrators has contributed to the prevailing insecurity in the region. Nsongi stressed that the victims are still awaiting justice and reparations for the damages they suffered. He mentioned that 72 houses were destroyed, and the local school and church require rehabilitation. Additionally, stolen items, including solar panels and batteries, have not been returned.
The sector chief emphasized that reparations are essential for reconciliation between the affected communities. He warned that if the perpetrators fail to meet the demands for reparations, reconciliation will be challenging, if not impossible. Nsongi urged the authorities to take responsibility for the victims and prevent further escalation of tensions.
The governor's announcement has been welcomed by local residents, who hope that the installation of the police sub-commissariat will bring much-needed security to the area. The region has faced numerous challenges, including violence and crime, which have hindered development and stability. The government's efforts to address these issues are seen as a positive step towards improving the lives of the local population.
The installation of the sub-commissariat is also expected to enhance cooperation between local authorities and law enforcement agencies. This collaboration is crucial in addressing the root causes of insecurity and ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice. The sector chief expressed his gratitude to the governor for his commitment to improving security in the region.
The situation in Baambe Belale and the surrounding areas will continue to be monitored closely by local authorities and the Congolese press agency. The ACP will provide updates on the progress of the installation of the police sub-commissariat and its impact on the local community.
