Ayah Ayah , son of detained former Supreme Court Advocate General has been released after spending one night at the Defence State Secretariat SED. He was picked up, Wednesday after security forces accused him of allegely taking pictures of the stormy trial of Anglophone leaders at the Yaounde Military Tribunal.
Upon his release, he reacted to the claims circulating " Kindly tell all around you that I am Just back from jail after I was picked up yesterday at the military Tribunal Yaounde alongside my younder cousin, as I came to his defence, just after he took photographs of myself, Honourable Joshua Osih and Barrister Kan, outside the court room, contrary to all the lies and misinformation you have all been fed with this far. That is the truth. I chose not to abandon him to his fate and let him suffer alone. He is my responsibility. Thanks be to God for letting my entire family and especially my mum for bailing me out of this wahala."
About his 24 hour expirience in the dungeon, he says "What an experience it was. I spare you the details for heaven's sake. What I will say is this: There's need to pray for all those under detention especially the 'anglophone' detainees on the account of the 'anglophone' crisis. They must be going through the darkest moments of their entire lives. Just one night for me and....."
Following his father's prompt retirement , Ayah Ayah wonders what his father has done to merit such a disgraceful move from the Biya regime, Hear him "you must have already gotten news that our only Advocate General of the Highest Court of the land was retired yesterday June 07, 2017. What a price he pays? May you all remember him in your prayers and in all you do..."

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.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Boko Haram fighters attacked the city of Maiduguri in northeast Nigeria on Wednesday, the Islamist militant group's most serious assault on the regional capital in a year and a half.
The raid comes six months President Muhammadu Buhari said Boko Haram had "technically" been defeated by a military campaign that had pushed many jihadists deep into the remote Sambisa forest, near the border with Cameroon.
Aid workers and Reuters witnesses reported explosions and heavy gunfire for at least 45 minutes in the southeastern and southwestern outskirts of the city. Thousands of civilians fled the fighting, according to Reuters witnesses.
Nigeria's military said it had contained the attack.
"The situation in Maiduguri is under control," it said in a statement, urging the city's inhabitants not to panic.
Maiduguri in Borno state has been the epicentre of the eight-year fight against Boko Haram but has been relatively free of violence since the beginning of 2016, barring sporadic suicide bombs on its outskirts.
Fighter jets roared overhead as soldiers and police sped towards the scene, the Reuters witnesses said. Three children were hit by bullets, one witness said.
More than 20,000 people have been killed in Boko Haram's campaign to establish a mediaeval caliphate in the Lake Chad basin. A further 2.7 million have been displaced, creating one of the world's largest humanitarian emergencies.
Despite the military's success in liberating cities and towns, much of Borno remains off-limits, hampering efforts to deliver food aid to nearly 1.5 million people believed to be on the brink of famine.

The Biya's regime hurriedly launch a vicious terrorism bill that was aimed at targeting Anglophone nationalism.
Those who are being detained in Yaoundé and purportedly charged with terrorism were instead kidnapped by state thugs without any weapons.
The state must show proof how these people asking for justice as well as denouncing marginalization have suddenly become terrorist even without arms.
The state thugs have in a continuum being arresting people of the erstwhile Southern Cameroons tagging them as terrorist
Sufficient proof have been presented to denounce the purported claim that we are one state and that state is indivisible.
There is no binding document to portrays that oneness and the overwhelming state fraud has been exposed.
The state of La Republique Du Cameroun orchestrated fraud by manipulating the federal constitution which was not even crafted in the spirit of justice and transparency.
Today being in this mess where by its flaws have only continued to ruin the already ruined state image,the state badly needs to admit that it has failed in handling the citizens of the erstwhile Southern Cameroons with fairness, harmony and concord.

Bibixy and several other Anglophones arrested several months ago appeared today in the Yaoundé Military Tribunal. But the presiding judge denied them bail. On his way from the tribunal, Bibixy, father of the Coffin Revolution, reiterated aloud that Southern Cameroon would regain independence.
Today,Mancho BBC through his unkempt look showcased how shabby the state of La Republique Du Cameroun is to the world.
Being as ignoramus a people like an iguana, those who purportedly are rulers show cased an unclad Mancho BBC depicting a shabby nation.
Being handcuffed when he is no treat to anybody showcased primitivism and backwardness of a junta that still thinks it can humiliate, disgrace and disfigure the erstwhile people of Southern Cameroons.
It's so saddening and demeaning that the state through its imposters tagged the gendarmes tacklessly nailed the coffin of the state.
Such bastardized action and mannerism shocked the world and disgraced the state of La Republique Du Cameroun as being barbaric and cruel to its purported citizens.
It defeats the falsehood of oneness and one and indivisibility. If Mancho BBC was of the French speaking Cameroon extraction, he won't have been kidnapped and tried in court.
This has happened and is happening because the legality of such actions is not founded.
Where is the independence of the Judiciary and where is the state of law trumpeted on the state propaganda machine the CRTV?
If the judge had humane qualities,he would have asked for such fettters to be removed from Mancho BBC, who is only an accused and not a criminal.
I have asked to know whether this barbaric attitude condoned by the half baked military judges can equally be meted on Francophones who have embezelled state funds or who have murdered?
The blood of the people of Southern. Cameroons is crying for vengeance from God,just like the blood of Abel cried for vengeance against Cain.
The Gendarmes, Police as well as the blood thirsty BIR should be ready to face God's wrath and judgement for the atrocities committed against a peaceful and peace loving people.
I strongly believe that there is a sinister plan that must be bugged,aimed at wiping out the entire people Southern Cameroons. This conviction was made much stronger yesterday when two trucks of French thugs,the Gendarmarie stormed Atuaakom and kidnapped eleven people. These people were in an off License drinking and chatting about the fire accident at Top star Hotel and the attacks on the students. How can people be kidnapped and taken to an unknown destination when the led investigation report posit a fire accident provoked by negligence. This falsehood denounces the old manipulation song of National unity. There can't be harmony,, Concord and mutual understanding when there is uncalled for cruelty and savagery from our purported brothers.
With Mancho's bravery today, coupled with the fact that he and the rest of the detained activists are on hunger strike, Mark Bareta decided that Monday's will be "papa and mami water ghost town".
He warns that violators of the move "shall be visited".
"The ghost shall spare none," he added.
Monday 12 marks the start of the written part of the controversial GCE examinations in Cameroon.
