The influential traditional ruler breathed his last in the evening of Saturday, October 2, 2021.
Chomba is one of the four villages in Bamenda II Subdivision.
Fon Fobuzie II ascended the throne in 1967 as the 10th Fon of Chomba.
In April 2007, Fon Fobuzie feted his 40th anniversary on the throne, a ceremony which coincided with the first "lereh" traditional festival in 50 years. The festivities offered a rare moment to celebrate love and patriotism exercised by Chomba sons and daughters.
It was a rare celebration with rituals and purification coming 52 years after the late fon and traditional council banned "lereh".
Back in 2007, Fon Fobuzie Martin said the celebration of the "Nikwi" cultural festival in 2003 was a blessing for "lereh" to be revived as a traditional dance with a lot to show for the generosity of Chomba people because "lereh" offers a lot in feasting, eating, dancing, libation and consultations with ancestors while traditional titles are given to deserving sons and daughters of the land.
Fon Fobuzie was one of the traditional rulers of the North West Region who stood in solidarity with imprisoned former General Manager of the Cameroon Shipyard and Industrial Engineering Ltd, CNIC, Zachaeus Mungwe Forjindam.
Aside from being a traditional ruler, Fon Fobuzie was a teacher and educational administrator, serving as Principal of famous colleges including CCAS Bambili and GHS Mbengwi.
Fon Fobuzie was also an advocate for Women’s rights and empowerment.
On November 28, 2012, the National Forum of Queens for Peace Initiative honored Fon Fobuzie. He was awarded the trophy of Champion of Women Empowerment.
The Fon of Chomba is hailed for creating a women’s council in his village where women and men discussed pertinent societal issues together.
The forum that knighted Fon Fobuzie in 2012 was organised by an NGO, Woman in Alternative Action, WAA Cameroon, in collaboration with Urgent Action for Fund for Women’s Human Rights, and other partners, and brought together wives of Fons, Chiefs and Lamidos nationwide.
