Cameroonians Detained in the British Virgin Islands After Entering Illegally from Antigua

26

SOURCE: REAL NEWS – Six Cameroon nationals who recently departed Antigua have been apprehended by immigration authorities in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) for entering the country illegally.

Initially, they had expected to meet an accomplice upon arrival but had to seek refuge in the bush due to unforeseen circumstances.

After enduring challenging conditions, including mosquito bites, the Cameroonians dialed 911 for emergency assistance.

Immigration officials responded, resulting in the West Africans being taken into police custody.

Separately, another group, believed to have left Antigua on May 15, is currently in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands (USVI).

They have reportedly filed for asylum and are awaiting transportation to the US mainland.

Some of the individuals who arrived in the Virgin Islands earlier have already proceeded to the United States.

One member of the May 15 group confirmed being in the USVI but declined to provide a recorded statement, expressing concerns about jeopardizing the situation of fellow Cameroonians in Antigua.

Meanwhile, the authorities in St. Thomas have requested the gathering of all Cameroonians present there for a collective meeting.

Last year, over 900 West Africans arrived in Antigua on controversial flights.

However, local sources indicate that less than 100 of them remain on the island, with speculation that many have embarked on illegal boat trips to other territories as part of their onward journey to the United States.

  1. St Kitt’s, and now the British Virgin Isles.

    This is why without question there has to be an independent enquiry, it is now effecting our neighbouring islands.

    How were the Africans allowed in without proper checks and scrutiny like the rest of us?

    Antiguans were informed that the Africans were wealthy tourists – what went wrong? Were our authorities duped, or were they complicit in them here illegally?

    How much did the Immigration Department under the tutelage of Katrina Yearwood know about this whole saga?

    There must be no stone unturned to uncover what really went on between the ABLP, Gaston Browne and Marvellous Mike.

    OTHER COUNTRIES ARE NOW BEING DRAGGED INTO THIS MESS …

    • … However, I do worry about the tripartite of Gaston Browne 😈, the self-enriched cabal😈 that surrounds him and the judiciary 😈that protects him.

      LOOKS LIKE THE DEVIL AH RUN TINGS IN TIGUA 🇦🇬

    • Those Africans are a bunch of fraudsters, full of tricks and very deceitful. They knew from the onset where they wanted to go, but they used their tricky nature to involved innocent players to take them to their destination. If they said they were fleeing from persecution, why they didn’t used the legal channels? Now they are caught between a rock and a hard place, they are demanding audiance from the U.N and the U.S Embassy. After causing so much disturbances in the region, is to round them up and ship them back where they came from.

      • I would agree with you partially, but i do not agree that the persons that facilitated them with transport/boat ride were innocent… allot of money has been passing hands when it comes to those Africans… so how can someone be innocent if they knowingly accept money and to transport these individuals to other islands…nothing tall innocent about that.. now these Africans are pure frauds their mains goals from the onset was to reach the US main land at any cost , even if they have to lose their life for it… So the Antigua government facilitated all this by not doing their due diligence and landing them here without hesitation … so now this is what we are left with… they are illegally entering all islands at the moment causing havoc … this issue squarely lies at the foot of the ABLP government…

  2. Look how Gaston’s recklessness is affecting the entire region. I believe he was really duped. He couldn’t imagine that this thing would be causing problems over 6 months later. His actions will not go unnoticed by the US. Investors take note!!!

    • He was not duped. He was part of the plan to get rich off the back of the poor Africans, who were desperate to get to America. Is the wickedness of Gaston and Cutie we are seeing manifest in the youth of Antigua?

      • He was indeed complicit. But had no idea it would turn out this bad. He got more trouble than he bargained for.

  3. We now know that Antigua Airways was just a cover for something else. Whoever was behind setting up the airline, never got past stage 1 of 5. We now know that, contrary to what Gaston Browne and his lying cabal are saying, that these flights landed here with the full authority of the higher ups. They were not duped. Gaston Browne is a dupe yes, but a lot of high rankers were involved in this saga. And we know that this man is the epitome of greediness, so big money must have passed.
    Now we know why they are lying, twisting stories, accusing us of xenophobia and whatever else the can devise, but the fact remains, nefarious activities transpired with the full support of the Gaston Browne government.
    The man is a top notch lunatic and greed will land him where he belongs. In prison. Antigua has suffered under this clown, and we had the chance to get rid of him, but the money and trinkets were placed before country.
    As time progresses and these Africans pop up on people’s shores, it becomes obvious that the government facilitated the human trafficking, and Antigua and Barbuda’s reputation sinks into the mire.

  4. Some people chupit carn done. Wan man siddung pan wan tone round south gazing up at de moon. He fren walk up an ask he wha he gazing up at de moon suh fah? He seh a wan likkle red ant he see crawling pan de moon. De fren start squinting he yeye an lookin up pan de moon. Yoh see um den? He asks de fren. Fah tell Yoh de truth, de fren seh, me nah see um tarl but me hearin e crawlin.
    Antigua people.

  5. It is time we give a hand to our back ground mother land which is Africa we black plp represent Africa cameroon is at war police killing citizens and citizens killing anyone all these African is looking for a better life of peace and comfort to work hard and become someone in life free the Africans and give them the opportunity to reach America at this point America have open arms to accept them so who should deny them freedom for the love of africa

    • @Jd.
      Who gave you the idea that “America have open arms to accept them?” You must have been sleeping for a long time. We should give a hand to our motherland Africa, you say. Well, we in these islands live hand to mouth, we have little or no natural resources and have to keep our eyes peeled to seize the least chance that comes our way to survive. Africa south of the Sahara is mineral rich but governed by corrupt and incompetent politicians who when they achieve power put their pockets above all else and their people therefore suffer and are seemingly always impoverished. Consider Sudan right now; mineral rich and there is a war raging between the military. Power and who holds it is what it’s all about and there’s a lot of gold in the ground. To the victor the spoils and to heck with the people. Give a hand to Africa my foot. I suspect you might be one of those ‘wealthy’ tourists who landed here and want to enter the USA illegally.

  6. According to my informer. This fellow Stone have all the answers. I hear he so blasted greedy; that he turning into another VC. When will he call for an enquiry and also retire Jerry! So Collin in your next braoadcast with you and the TAP “DAWG.” Please Ask he these questions for me.

    Ask Stone. What happen to Antigua Airways? It’s becoming cancerous in the Caribbean. Ask Stone! How come African “tourist” claiming now that they are now refugees? Seen a
    Liming on the streets of St. John’s it’s with empty suitcase and grips!

    Ask Stone , ask Stone, Gastone….this country used to be a pearl.

    Saturday I am going to listen intently. For the emasculation on RUM SHOP Radio. To hear some more spin talking. By the one the call the PM.

    Colin, tell Stone! We want to to know who calls themselves Marvelous Mike. He name sounds like a pseudonym character of wrestling fight. Tell stone that Shuggy is more appealing. You could see the pupils in a parliamentarian expanding.
    Have to sing for your supper
    I know he is your fearless leader and you haffu sing for your suppper. He me your comrade party leader but a challenger have he own wine and cheese radio. Stand up for the best
    all arwe! For your country and all are we. RUMSHOP RADIO is your medium to get the message out!

    So, ask stone why he did not take back the migrants from st kitts? Was there a second ship waiting in the waters to transport them? What happened to migrants that cannot be found or are they pronounced dead by your government?

    Ask Stone ,

  7. Where are you getting this news from? I follow the BVI news, also the USVI news and this would have been big news, so unless this just happen hours ago, somebody trying to put Wadadli down once again. By the way which one of the BVI island was the drop off point? And mosquitoes 🦟! you figured Africans would be able to stand a little mosquito bite, then calling authorities when trying to enter the country illegally, Ithis got to be a joke. Wow! The process in the USVI seems pretty easy.

  8. I must state that no deception occurred. I make this statement as political leaders are expected to possess knowledge of global affairs and matters in foreign nations. If they lack such awareness, they are unfit to hold positions of power. Additionally, upon arrival, individuals should be able to demonstrate to immigration and customs officers that they possess adequate funds to finance their stay in Antigua. If they fail to do so, they should be denied entry and sent back on the same flight they arrived on, as is the standard protocol in metropolitan countries. Therefore, why wasn’t this practice in place in Antigua?

  9. Is this story even true?? Did it ce.out of the BVI or USVI? Lool at the source where this story comes from REAL NEWS a know anti ABLP news source. Is this a distraction from all the Shugy drama. Is this a way to attract people to that pitiful excuse of a pickette outside government house? How convenient for this story to suddenly come out after the update for SNK and as usual the usual suspects here with all the outlandish stories with not one drop of proof to back up their claims.

  10. Who say these people are Cameroons, wasn’t the flight initiated from Nigeria? If these people are refugee’s, then they would have been refugee’s already in the country the flights originates, wouldn’t that be the case? So if that’s the case, how would they even get to legally past the immigration officers to board these flights in Nigeria if they do not have the proper documents to travel to the Caribbean as so-call tourist? So no, the deal were not made by the Antiguan Government without the details were made, no one was duped here. This is simply a deal gone bad, otherwise any government would want to find out how individuals were allowed to corrupt their immigration system so easily and would want someone to pay for such screwups. These things were warned of by many of us on here when the news broke about this deal last year, but they didn’t listen because there was money to be made, but now the deal has gone bad and now other islands are affected by this mess, we have people ducking and weaving and trying to avoid the blow back and just hope it goes away.

    This will not go away, it’s too messy to just go away. Someone has to answer for this fraud that was perpetrated against the citizen’s of ANTIGUA.

    No island will ever trust Antigua while doing business with present Government, no one. How can you even trust someone deflects and lie so much? Antigua is doomed politically going forward,and this fiasco will be a thorn in its flesh for years to come, years. So you’ll just brace yourselves my fellow Antiguans, because this will not get any better in the years to come.

  11. Finally you bunch of lazy senseless Antiguans have something to talk about, for the past months you lazy thugs have been quiet now u are here to run to rant cuz you’ve heard something negative about Africans, y’all are really jobless and senseless, I see why Gaston Brown wanted Africans to stay in Antigua in order to educate your numskulls. Y’all go get a life 🖕🖕

    • @Proud Cameroonian…

      A…being a son(Jumbee_Picknee/Spirit_Child) of #Mami_Wata and #Papa_Elegba, whose Akashic Cycles 🔁 🔃🔄, through the powers of the ENDUKA/SWASTIKA which posses each and every #CrossRoad of life’s Flora and Fauna, left me at be such CrossRoad in the essence, of the essence of Time/Space. I am honored and proud to have being physically blessed, to have being moulded from Wadali, the Land of Medicinal Herbs.

      B…Proud Cameroonian, I read your words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs which, in and of themselves are not SENSES of the Essence, but simply tools used by any idiot, to include myself to highlight something/images
      Now speaking of tools used to highlight, the tools which created these 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇹🇫🇫🇷🇬🇧🇮🇴🇻🇬which also sends a message, at this juncture, which one of these represents you, as a Proud Cameroonian?
      As you make your choice(s), please pay meticulously attention, as to why CAMEROONIANS are ending up in the Caribbean, if…
      (i)…their intelligence are par none?
      (ii)…their land/Nation is full with Gold, Diamonds, Rubies, Pearls etc, paving their streets and used to wipe shit/farces from their asses(by the way, some of Us Antiguans used tree leaves to wipe our asses, and felt very clean afterwards) why the fuck are they running like chickens, sending an impending hurricane?

      C…now, as I speak of running away, please enlighten us, as to the real reasons to leave your land of Milk n Honey, are willing to die just to become a REFUGEE in a Shit_Hole_Nation like Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA, with a bunch of lazy uneducated bastards, according to you?
      Psychologically, some fucking thing is way out of sinc with this picture.
      I will surmise, from International News Agencies not the REAL NEWS, tabloid style reporting, that you are running helter skelter from your land of Milk and Honey because, like some in the Caribbean to include Antiguans have allowed the same SLAVE MASTERS out of Europe, in the case of CAMEROON, to use you as AFRICANS to advance their causes, by pitting you PROUD CAMEROONIANS against each other, and providing you with weaponry to SLAUGHTER each other. This speaks volumes for some well eaducated, dynamic folks #WHO’RE totally in control of their future, unlike lazy, uneducated Antiguans who by the way, will fuss and cuss and put each other down mentally(the recent spate of killings are not endemic to our culture for the pass hundred years), again, while those Antiguans #WHO’RE educated, and indoctrinated by the same systems of governance which have CAMEROONIANS killing each others, again like dogs, our PRESENT OVERSEERS like those crooks in the ABLP led government nor any other government could get lazy Antiguans to do what Cameroonians are doing to their land of Milk n Honey.

      Yes, the government of Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA can be shitty at times with their piss poor policies and piss poor management but rest assured PROUD CAMEROONIAN, we can pair any Antiguan to any Cameroonian, and I can bet you, that TRUE ANTIGUAN or BARBUDAN will hold their own against any CAMEROONIAN.

      Now, go fuck yourself on this🌵🌵, your 🖕🏾🖕🏾will only get drowned up your ass!

    • @Proud Cameroonian.
      You have an infernal cheek to refer to Antiguans as lazy thugs, jobless and senseless. Why, I ask, are you fleeing your country in such haste to enter another illegally? I pointed out in an earlier post to “jd” apparently one of your countrymen that we in these islands have very little or no natural resources unlike many African countries south of the Sahara which are mineral rich and possess have vast wealth. You have spent the last eight yeas or so in a bloody civil war with 6,000 dead as reported. Pay attention to the ongoing slaughter in Cameroon where the population are not thuggish, jobless and senseless. Go to South Africa where foreign Africans are constantly attacked and certainly not welcomed there. There are no reports of stranded Cameroonians being attacked or assaulted by lazy, thuggish , jobless Antiguans. You should be grateful for such tender mercies. Your words must be poisonous to the ears of our government (which I do not support, I’m non partisan) who welcomed you and did try to be as hospitable to you as possible. You have repaid them with ingratitude with your venomous verbal attack on Antigua and Antiguans. May I ask you to take seriously this request: Go to hell —- and stay there. I thank you for granting me my wish.
