 The Bakassi Story
Importantly, the Bakassi peninsula which was part of Kamerun/Cameroon since 1913, as inherited in the league of Nations mandate after World War 1, was also excised from co-administration with the eastern region along with the rest of the southern Cameroons at that time.
Because the specifications of the boundary at that point did not contain provisions for such an eventuality (as was written into the detailed negotiations for Bakassi peninsula), the Camerounians hurried to plant crops on the former riverbed to prevent it from redirecting itself.
From the centre of the navigable channel on a line joining Bakasi Point and King Point, the boundary shall follow the centre of the navigable channel of the Akwayafe River as far as the 3-mile limit of territorial jurisdiction.

 Application instituting proceedings - Land and Maritime Boundary between Cameroon and Nigeria
Cameroon's title to the peninsula was confirmed by the results of the plebiscite conducted under the auspices of the United Nations on 11 and 12 February 1961, on the occasion of which the nationals of the former Southern Cameroons chose to be incorporated into Cameroon.
The results of the plebiscite of 11 February 1961, by deciding the incorporation of the former Southern Cameroons - of which the Bakassi peninsula was a part - to the Republic of Cameroon (and not to the Federal Republic of Nigeria), irrefutably confirmed that Bakassi appertained to the Republic of Cameroon.
