Cameroon: Akwa-Nord - Man Dies Following Sons Arrest

Sixty-year-old Eboki Dombe is no more. He gave up the ghost on Friday, June 19, following the arrest and handcuffing of his son by two supposed police elements of the anti gang unit. According to the deceased wife, his son, Joseph B., was called on the phone by an unknown man and asked to come to the road since he lives just about 20 metres from the road. As he came to the roadside in front of "Pharmacie d'Akwa-nord" at the Akwa-nord neighbourhood, one of his hands was handcuffed to a pole in front of the pharmacy. He asked what his crime was and the warrant of his arrest but no answer was given.

The arrest alerted neighbours and Joseph's father who left the house barefooted, putting on a pair of short trousers. As he asked what crime his son has committed, one of the anti gang element said he is suspected for stealing a motorbike.
