Lekeaka Oliver,[b] popularly known as Field Marshall, was a Cameroonian army soldier[2] and later an Ambazonian separatist commander and the leader of the Red Dragon militia.

Owing partly to the topography of Lebialem, the division became a key battleground of the war, with the Cameroon Armed Forces facing a tough fight against the separatists there.

[13] This act caused outrage both among Cameroonian loyalists as well as other rebels, with one Ambazonian spokesman, Tapang Ivo Tanku, calling it an "excessive abuse of power and the rape of culture".

[4] When the Ambazonian leadership crisis erupted in the same year, Oliver's militia pledged loyalty to Samuel Ikome Sako's Interim Government.

[14][c] In the following weeks, the position of the Red Dragons greatly declined, with the group being reduced to about 30 fighters according to Bareta News[17] or just a "few supporters" according to Journal du Cameroun.

[8] Cameroonian security forces including the BIR reportedly located Oliver in Menji, and organized a raid on 12 July 2022.

News websites Cameroun Web and Cameroon Info cautioned that Oliver had been declared dead three times before this raid, making some separatists question his death.

[1][18] However, separatists later confirmed his death; according to his brother Chris Anu, Oliver was killed by an insider who had then tipped off Cameroonian forces about the location of the corpse.

[7] The Cameroonian government subsequently displayed Oliver's corpse to the public to "deter the rebels and warn youth against joining their cause".
