When Fon Vugah was banished by his people in June 2004, he took refuge in Mankon Palace. A week before he met his death, he joined Fon Angwafor III of Mankon, Fon Forbuzie of Chomba and a host of others to wish the Northwest Governor happy New Year. On January 19, he would depart unceremoniously. His former subjects escorted him down the Bamenda-Babanki-Fundong highway and gave him a thorough beating. Women, men, and children, using clubs, destroyed the former Fon's residence and forced out one of his wives who had accompanied him to Babanki. Together, they were thrashed until the Fon almost gave up the ghost midway to the border. Half dead, the Fon was wheeled in a cart to the Fembveng Bridge that separates Babanki and Bambui. In a pyre of grass, Fon Vugah was set ablaze as if to confirm his death.
