Victor Nendaka Bika

Victor Nendaka was born on 7 August 1923 in Kumu, Buta Territory, Bas-Uele District in Orientale Province, Belgian Congo.

Nendaka left the MNC-L ostensibly because Lumumba accepted a significant amount of money from communists, but he never presented any substantial evidence to support his allegation.

[1] In October 1960 Nendaka was appointed Director of the Sûreté Nationale (national security police) by temporary commission.

Nendaka appealed to General Joseph-Désiré Mobutu for support, who immediately responded by sending troops to guard the Sûreté offices and threaten Gbenye with arrest if he interfered.

[5] Nendaka was nearly assassinated by members of the anti-Adoula Comité National de Libération in November 1963.
