Terror is the reigning sentiment in Bangolan village, in Ngoketunjia Division of the Norh West Region following the assassination of Pa Tata Forkeng. Reports hold that Tata Forkeng was attacked in his home and murdered in cold blood. The assassination we gathered is linked to the chieftaincy crisis rocked the village. Matters came to a head when information leaked that Fon Chafah and 19 others were targeted by the gang that assassinated Pa Tata recently.

It is alleged that first on the list of those blacklisted is Fon Chafah Isaac. An atmosphere of uncertainty looms large in Bangolan as supporters of Mbipefah, who died mysteriously after release from Ndop prison, have also declared a cold war on Fon Chafah’s supporters. Allegations that women from Baba I married to Bangon are being chased away abound high. The xenophobia we gathered emanates from the fact that Fon Chafah’s mother hails from Baba I palace.

The Eye is aware that one of the grievous things is that the corpse of the Inkatha Fon has not yet been buried. Despite the fact that Fon Chafah insisted that an autopsy e conducted on the corpse to determined the cause, before burial, Inkatha’s supporters say he has a hand in it. But Fon Chafah’s supporters have dismissed the threats as mere hot air. To them, his detractors have performed all the rituals to kill Fon Chafah, rumours even hold that Fon Chafah’s picture was taken to Nigeria for him to be killed but it didn’t work. “The God Fon Chafah serves will fight for him” one of his supporters is quoted to have said.

A 30-year-old girl, Saturday August 6, delivered a baby boy weighing four kg, after 21 months of pregnancy. Georgiana Kindzeka, who hails from Jakiri, Bui Division in the Northwest Region, had been barren for eight years.

“December 2014 was a joyous month for Elvis and I, when we learnt that I was pregnant after eight years of barrenness. But the euphoria soon turned to sadness when three echography results showed that there was no baby in my womb, although the symptoms of pregnancy were obvious,” Georgiana said.

The new mother said because of this mysterious pregnancy, her panic-stricken boyfriend started behaving in a funny way towards her. So, she decided to leave and rent a room at Shell Obili, in Yaounde. According to Georgiana, when she explained to friends that doctors could not see the baby in her womb, some told her she was carrying a monster in her womb.

Others said it was the traditional gods ‘nwerong’ and ‘akeukwor’, snake, stone, masquerade, or even water. All these things, she said, got her even more worried. In February this year, when the pregnancy was 15 months, she went back to the hospital for the fourth echography. This time around, the doctors saw a baby in her womb.

Georgiana said one of her sisters, Victorine, immediately took her to a pastor, Nchanji Therese, alias ‘Mummy’ of the Holy Ghost Zone Ministries, Damas in Yaounde. “After few minutes of powerful prophetic and declarative prayers from the pastor, the yoke of undue pregnancy upon my life was instantly broken,” said Georgiana.

From that moment she said peace returned upon her as her baby started kicking again after the prayers. Georgiana said Pastor Nchanji referred her to the Saint Annick Clinic in Chapelle Obili for ante-natal follow-up.

The D-Day finally came on August 6, when, at about 3 pm, Georgiana felt a sharp pain around her abdomen, and she rushed to the clinic for consultation, not knowing that it was labour hour.

Within a short period, she said she was being delivered of her baby like a ‘Hebrew’ woman. The first thing Georgiana said she did, was to send her hand to feel if it was actually a baby that came out or the snake, stone, masquerade, or yam that people had predicted.

“I was overwhelmed and overjoyed when Mah Eveline, the midwife, shouted that it was a normal baby boy with all his faculties intact. My baby is indeed my august guest in this month of August. Now I believe that, the devil can only delay one’s destiny but he cannot deny it,” she concluded. “I have decided to name the baby, Miracle Wirsanyuy, which in Lamnso, my Mother tongue, meaning ‘God is the Supreme Judge’.” Doubting Elvis

Georgiana said her cousin immediately phoned the baby’s father to inform him of the birth of his son, but Elvis did not show any interest. She said the boy just said it is a miracle baby and by press time, he had not passed to check on the baby.

Georgiana said since she delivered, people have been taking turns in her room; “some courageous ones come in to touch the baby, while others stand far off to spy.” She, however, said that the courage and faith to continue with the pregnancy came from the experience of a certain woman, Mami Juvette. She said she knew the woman back in Jakiri.

According to Georgiana, the woman was pregnant for 20 months and finally gave birth to a baby boy. Georgiana said to her greatest dismay, everyone to whom she went for help turned her down. She thus resorted to selling garri at the Mendong market in order to survive. She said people who knew her in the market, refused to buy her garri, for fear of being possessed by the so-called monster baby.

She added that as the delivery kept delaying, sympatisers from her village requested that she goes home for spiritual cleansing by a witchdoctor because they suspected that she might have been spiritually bound by her rival. She said she refused to go, claiming that her hands were clean. And today, said she, ‘God has vindicated me’.

The boy who was found wondering by Park Boys in a local agency, explains that he was taken from their compound in Fundong, three days back by some unknown men who brought him to Douala.

The boy went further to say the men were six in number and had promised him that they were going to take him to Nigeria, but that he succeeded to escape after telling them he wanted to ease himself outside the house.
He explains that once outside and to the least expectation from the six alleged hostage takers, he vamoosed. 
The brilliant boy told Equinoxe Television in Douala which launched SOS message by bringing him on their Newscast, that he succeeded to take a bike with coins he had with him to the Baptist health center, MBINGO ANNEX, Mboppi before some Park Boys took him to a nearby police station.

It is the Police Commissioner who directed the boys to take the child to any media for the public and his parents to see him.

The story of TOH Hanson has remain a fascinating one, however many have cast doubt on the veracity of his information, some hold that he couldn’t have been courageous enough to escape from his alleged kidnappers, others say that it might just be a family issue that led to forceful taking of the child by one camp.
The parents are highly awaited to confirm.
