Yaounde: Southern Cameroonian inmate attacked at Kondengui prison
A Southern Cameroonian inmate in Kondengui abducted as a result of the current Southern Cameroons crisis has been attacked. His right eye was attacked with a fork and was almost plucked off. Information says this came as a result of provocation and mockery his francophone brother did unto him as a flag burner (for burning La Republique flag).
This information was made public earlier by the Secretary General of SCACUF Mr. Tassang Wilfred ON his official facebook page.
BaretaNews correspondent in Yaounde has confirmed this incident and Mr. Vernso Stephen is currently undergoing treatment. Let us continue to pray for him.
BaretaNews was made to understand that since the announcement of the UN SG representative that all Anglophones arrested should be released, some francophones inmates have become violent and crazy on Anglophone colleagues. They are bent on harming some before they ever leave. Our people are now afraid. Kondengui is not safe anymore. We are told as a result Dr. Fontem has been urgently transferred today to meet Barrister Balla and Mancho at Principale section of the prison.
We of BaretaNews continue to call for restrain. Prison authorities must make sure Anglophone inmates are offered maximum security. We also call on Southern Cameroonians to receive this new information with good faith and not to retaliate on any francophone. It's a struggle for restoration and not a francophone vs Anglophone issue.
