Florent Sikati Kamwo II is no longer vice-president of the Yaoundé Military Tribunal, much less an investigating judge. The man was replaced by lieutenant colonel magistrate Pierrot Narcisse Nzie. It is the latter who will have to pilot theMartinez Zogo affair. It is this matter that has been of greatest concern to this court for almost twelve months.
If the presidential decree does not justify the “crime” allegedly caused by Sikati, the fact remains that it occurs a few days after the failed release of Jean Pierre Amougou Bélinga and Maxime Eko Eko ; two suspects in the case of the assassination of radio host Martinez Zogo. Indeed, the news of the release of the businessman owner of the press group L’anecdote and Director General of External Research (Dgre), the head of Cameroon’s General Intelligence. On social networks, we discovered the order for the release of these two suspects, without action. In a context of denunciation by the counsel of the two suspects who claim to have released a document that the investigating judge says is false, but bearing his signature; In the process, Me Charles Tchoungang and his college defending the interests of Amougou Bélinga and Maxime Eko Eko published the releases of the said documents. Challenging the signatory visibly taken by surprise. Paul Biya decided by dismissing the man who is at the center of the crisis of confidence in this affair which has shaken Cameroon for a year.
Jean Pierre Amougou Bélinga and Maxime Eko Eko are being prosecuted, like many other people including Justin Danwé the director of operations of the Dgre, among others for kidnapping, sequestration, torture, etc. of the presenter of Embouteillages on Amplitude FM. After a campaign denouncing “fictitious markets” and embezzlement of public funds, Martinez Zogo was kidnapped in front of a gendarmerie, and his body was found mutilated in a suburb of Yaoundé on January 22, 2022. Since then the investigations have stalled and the parties blame each other. Even military justice is struggling to untangle the tangle.
