Southern Cameroon Crisis: CRTV' ace sports analyst, FON ECHEKIYE summoned to appear at SED
CRTV' ace sports analyst, Fon Echeloyi, who is also Deputy Director Coordinating new television channels the corporation still has to create, has been summoned to appear before investigators at the dreaded Secretariat of State at the Ministry of the Defense in Charge of the National Gendarmerie, code named in French- SED.
According to the summons served on Fon Echekiye, he is expected to show up on Tuesday the 28th of March at 9 am, purportedly at the behest of hierarchy. Although the accusations leading to his being summoned are not expressly mentioned on the documents served on the avid sports analyst, the sections of the Criminal Procedure Code quoted indicate that he is being called up in relation to treason. That links him to the Southern Cameroons Question which has left the country devastated, occasioning the questioning and arrest of numerous Anglophone elite.
If arrested this Tuesday, Fon Echekiye shall be the ninth Anglophone journalist being held in connection to the crisis. Fon Echekiye's summons leaves many wondering how his name could come up, since he reports sports and sports alone, while the Anglophone problem is in the domain of politics. Sources close to the case indicate that the matter has been brought to the attention of the journalism watchdog institution, the Committee to Protect Journalists, CPJ.
