History

edit

The village chief demanded the expansion of the farming strip boundaries in October 2008 because the youths were unable to find places to farm.[3]

In mid-October 2015, heavy rain poured on Bomandjokou, causing the village to flood. One hundred households were affected by the flood, and it forced them to seek refuge 2 KM from the village. Later, they returned after the flood receded.[4]
