The tragic scene took place in Obam village by Nkolmesseng.
Ngona Gendarmerie post. We are in the district of Yaoundé 5, department of Mfoundi. It is in this brigade that Ekobena, the main suspect in the murder of Sylvestre Banfila, has been kept in custody since the night of May 7th. He is staying there for having “knocked out the deceased (Sylvestre Banfila) with a club on the evening of Sunday May 7, 2023”, confides the head of the Ngona gendarmerie post, Nestor Maiyir. The first information indicates that the deceased was hit in the head.
“He certainly died during his transfer to Yaoundé General Hospital. Unfortunately, until today, we have not always received the death genre certificate. The lady to whom we entrusted this case is dragging us into the investigation, ”explains the head of the post. In reality, the tragic scene took place in the Obam village, not far from the public primary school.
“The gentleman (Sylvestre) got out of the taxi to urinate in the gutter opposite a field. This field belongs to the owner of the bar located right next to the field. That’s how the bartender told the gentleman that we don’t urinate here. The outbursts of voices started and the bartender’s brother came to fight with the deceased, ”says a carpenter installed not far from there. ” Mr. N’nam bar », this is exactly the name of the drinking establishment in front of which, the story stopped for Sylvestre Banfila.
It is 5 p.m. yesterday, May 11. We learn that said bar has not opened since Monday, May 8. The deceased “is an English speaker. I am even told that he built here in the village. I think maybe it’s the beer stuff. Otherwise, I believe that it is not forbidden to urinate anyway. And the gentleman was urinating in the gutter. I’m really sad, ”says a motorcycle taxi.
After investigations, it turns out that the alleged murderer has a mental health problem. “We were told that he has a mental health problem and that he was already better. We asked the family to provide us with a document attesting to this. But, nothing so far,” concludes the Ngona Brigade Commander.
