Achankeng Prisco - Ass. Quarter Head Zone III Upper Atu-Azire Upper Atu-azire is a Community in Mankon Fondom, located within the Bamenda II council area in Mezam Division of the North West Region. Achankeng Prisco is the assistant quarter head for upper Atu-azire, zone III. He explained that though not common any more, it was at first very easy for one to either spot a female pant or condom on the streets every morning in the neighborhood. " Due to the insecurity and other challenges, you'll get up every morning to find pants and condoms on the streets. An example that a sexual activity has taken place. Perhaps a rape case that has gone unnoticed.... So we sat as a council of upper Atuazire, contributed money and installed street lights in some dark and remote areas of the quarter, where such activities often takes place. We have not been able to do alot but we're still clamouring for more funds to light up other parts of the quarter". Image courtesy of Youth2Youth
