Police reportedly asked Mrs Agbor Ruth Ayuk to produce her son Mark whom Government has labeled terrorist. She is also accused of sponsoring the rise of the Anglophone crisis with money sent by Mark Bareta.

Another Activist, Eric Tataw wrote on his facebook page, “I just got off the phone with Mark, I have also spoken to sources at the Buea Central Police Station; Bareta's mother is being held for questioning, Tuesday April 24, 2018. My sources say everything being equal, she should be released soonest. According to preliminary investigations, she's being accused of sponsoring the Anglophone Struggle with money from her son, Mark Bareta.”

Reacting on his Facebook page, Mark Bareta, onetime interim leader of Civil Society Consortium said his mother is innocent and has never controlled his actions, “Like every parent, you give birth to a child. You don't give birth to his or her heart/mind, or control their actions. As a strong CWA (Catholic women’s association) woman, she believes in justice and lives her own small life going to bed everyday worried to death, wondering whether I am safe or not. She has numerous times over the years requested that I slow down but came to the conclusion that I am responsible for my own actions.”

He added that his mother is just a victim of circumstances, “Just like any mother, father, boy, girl out there, she is the latest victim of the system. A system that has caused untold damages and heartache to several families on our land. She may not even be the last in my family that is targeted.”

Mark Bareta insisted that no one has ever controlled his actions and that he has been doing so even before the outbreak of the Anglophone crisis, “My actions are entirely mine. No one person in my family controls what I do. They can't, even if they try as some have done because political activism is my food and my life; for which I have sacrificed a great part of my personal life and I cannot rest, not when there is so much injustice in my country.”

The former University of beau Student leader is wanted by the government for his role in fueling the Anglophone crisis according to judicial documents.

An International Arrest Warrant was served for that purpose month’s back. The arrest of his mother observers hold could be a means to make him retract.

Her arrest however has not been confirmed by Government
