Supposed victims



 As of now, no genuine source has cobfirmed the propagated explosions of this lake.
 Notheless, In the year 2009, two geologists from the University of Buea assessed Lake Awing in the Northwest Region and said that its steep banks and location along the volcanic belt that is prone to landslides might cause disaster.

Associate Professor Samuel Ayonghe and Dr. Edwin Ntasin of the Faculty of Geology and Environmental Sciences, during their visit to Lake Awing in December 26th, 2009 carried out a geological investigation round the lake to assess its behaviour and activities around it.
The geologists worried that Lake Awing's behavioural trends portend danger for the surrounding villages, situated below the lake.

They also feared that the lake might explode like Lake Nyos that exploded with poisonous gases in 1986, killing more than 2000 people as well as animals. According to the Fon of Awing and one Simon Ayafor (lake guard) whom the geologists interviewed, landslides occur sporadically around the lake, but are rather common around the village and actually pose a big threat.
