Cameroon :: Scandal in Douala: Theft of 159 Million CFA francs from the Beijing Restaurant Involving an Army Corporal :: Cameroon
A case of theft of considerable magnitude is currently shaking the restaurant Le Beijing in Bonapriso in Douala, where Fondjo Fondjo Armel, a corporal in the Cameroonian army serving at BCS2 and seconded to ensure the security of the establishment, is said to have orchestrated a theft alongside a restaurant employee.
According to security sources, Corporal Fondjo Fondjo Armel, along with employee Meno Fotouo Bernard, accompanied the restaurant’s Chinese boss, Lin Junsu, to the UBA bank in Akwa in order to withdraw the large sum of 159 million CFA francs. However, taking advantage of a moment of inattention on the part of their boss, the two accomplices suddenly fled, taking with them the coveted money.
This alarming theft raises crucial questions about security and trust in the city’s business community. The fact that an army corporal, supposedly in charge of security, was involved in this misdeed is all the more worrying.
The competent authorities have been alerted and an investigation is currently underway to elucidate the exact circumstances of this daring theft. Collaboration between security forces and judicial authorities is emphasized to ensure that justice is done in this case.
Chinese restaurateur Lin Junsu is now facing a considerable financial loss, jeopardizing the financial stability of his establishment.
This resounding scandal highlights the urgent need to strengthen security measures within companies and businesses, as well as to exercise stricter control over individuals responsible for protecting public places and private property.
For now, neither Corporal Fondjo Fondjo Armel nor employee Meno Fotouo Bernard have commented on these accusations. The case remains open and continues to generate interest and concern within the local community.
