The advocate General of the supreme court in Cameroon’s son, Ayah Ayah Paul, explained in a post on the social media, how deplorable it felt like, to be in La Republique’s detention.
He had gone to the military tribunal in Yaounde on Wednesday, 7 June 2017, to attend the court hearing of some Anglophones who were locked up in relation to the strike in the English speaking regions of the country, before being arrested.
He said he came to understand what our Anglophone brothers and sisters have been going through in La Republique cells. “There is need to pray for all those under detention, especially the Anglophone detainees on the account of the Anglophone crisis” Ayah disclosed. Most of them have been languishing in pain for months now, but the authorities in charge are not helping it in any way with the constant postponement of their court cases.
Biya’s agents cleared him up from the military court’s premises on the grounds that he was trying to defend his cousin who had taken photos of him Ayah Ayah, with Barister kan and Joshua Osih who equally came to witness the court case.
Ayah Ayah also talked about his father’s manipulated retirement, which has greatly reduced his chances of slipping off the hands of the regime’s forces. This will only help to worsen his health which is not even the best, according to sources.
The Advocate General’s son could not forget his mom who bailed him “thanks be to God for letting my entire family and especially my mom for bailing me out of this wahala”. After the release, he felt the urge to call on the rest of the Ambazonians to pray for those in detention, for they are in hell.

The June session of Parliament has begun in Yaounde as Members of Parliament and Senators converge to make decisions on the deplorable condition of the country. Anglophone MPs have once again given a deaf ear for them to walk out from the Parliament which aggrieved Anglophones say does not longer represent their interest.
By continuing to attend Parliamentary sessions in Yaoundé, most Southern Cameroonians believe the MPs are traitors, people who put their interest first before the population who elected them. They are not only a minority but never has their voices been taken to consideration. Very few MPs especially from the ruling party CPDM have come up to react to the unlawful arrests, intimidation and imprisonment of Anglophone youths.
Opening the session at the National Assembly Thursday, long term Speaker, Cavaye Yegue Djibril mocked actors who called for boycott of National Day. To him, the calls did not in any drowse the spirit of the celebrations and Cameroonians demonstrated their willingness to live together. He has given a pass mark to efforts made by ¨President Paul Biya to resolve the Anglophone problem as well as efforts taken by education authorities to ensure the academic year goes through despite calls for boycott.
Senate President, Marcel Niat Njifenji who opened the Senate sessions hours later called on CAMRAIL to speed up the compensation of victims of the Eseka train crash while stressing the need for unity.
A minute of silence was given in honor of the fallen Bishop of Bafia, Jean Marie Benoit Balla whose death has been described as shocking by MPs
SDF MPs have rubbished the opening session saying Government has done nothing to resolve the matter. But that has not pleased majority of disgruntled Anglophones who want the MPs to walk out from what they say is a rubber stamp Parliament.
The June Session has nothing a stake. MPs will control government action through Questions and Answer sessions. We learnt about 7 bills will be on for scrutiny in the days ahead.

This would be one of the rare hints I have ever had in my Journalism career. As strange and fevered as this may appear, when a flag is draped over a casket, it only denotes one thing...
A source whose freedom depends on National Telegraph's ability to write with strict observation of anonymity, has told National Telegraph's Editor-in-chief, Eric Tataw that Biya and his blood-quaffing reps have already concluded plans to arrest the highest servant of The Presbyterian Church in Cameroon.
Our source also leaked that Rt. Rev. Fonki Samuel might be arrested during the next court hearing for inciting his congregants, an act they claim he did in the last court hearing. If this happens, it would mean the end of the Etoudi regime.
In my capacity as a Southern Cameroonian fighting for the liberation of his motherland, I urge all Christians to match fearlessly to the courts come the next hearing. Other denominations must now also sound the trumpets. The end has come to Biya and victory is now closest.
