The so-called powerful Minister-Secretary General at the presidency of the republic, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh is preparing to step in for President Biya when the dictator undergoes prostate cancer surgery, Cameroon Intelligence Report has gathered from reliable sources inside the Biya family.

The Francophone despot could be out of the political scene in Yaoundé for a month while his army soldiers deployed to Southern Cameroons continue to struggle with their failing military operations.

A senior gendarmerie officer serving with the Francophone dominated Intelligence Unit told our undercover reporter in Yaoundé late on Thursday that Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh is expected to make public a cabinet reshuffle to the brainwashed public that the 90 year-old Biya remains in full control.

Earlier on Friday, a prominent member of the ruling CPDM Central Committee with close ties to the Biya family confessed to a foreign diplomat that President Biya is very ill with prostate cancer.

Videos of President Biya meeting with some top Beti Ewondo political elites and signing of decrees have been concocted and will be aired on state radio and television in a cover-up to make it seem that he is working.

Renowned Southern Cameroons academic Prof Carlson Anyangwe says dialogue among Ambazonia front line leaders and groups is the best solution to the existing problems deep within the struggle.

Anyangwe made the comments in a Wednesday telephone conversation with Cameroon Concord News London bureau chief Asu Isong, during which the veteran Southern Cameroons leader called for increased cooperation between the Ambazonia Interim Government of Vice President Dabney Yerima and other Southern Cameroons restoration groups.

During the conversation, the much respected Prof Carlson Anyangwe emphasized that all restoration forces both in the diaspora and in Ground Zero should rally behind Comrade Dabney Yerima and that internal revolutionary issues can be solved through dialogue.

“The presence of too many groups is making a mockery of the struggle. It is high time Southern Cameroonians stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the group with the majority following-which is the Dabney Yerima led Interim Government. Rallying behind Yerima cannot be interpreted as weak! It is what the people of Southern Cameroons need right now as the enemy and its backers are relying on military and financial power,” Anyangwe said.

Professor Carlson Anyangwe stressed that management of the Southern Cameroons struggle is not the same as managing the Federal Republic Ambazonia as an independent state.

“Consequently, all genuine restoration groups must read from the same resistance script as the jailed leaders and rally behind Yerima through common thinking and self defense actions,” Anyangwe furthered.

Confirming Vice President Dabney Yerima recent remarks in which he condemned the crimes committed by the Biya Francophone regime in Yaoundé, Carlson Anyangwe described the long marginalization and oppression of the Ambazonian people by evil French Cameroun as a bitter reality and a blow to the Commonwealth of Nations and the African Union.

“In the face of these French Cameroun crimes, our suffering peoples in Ground Zero and Ground One expects us in the diaspora to take collective and unified action instead of wasting time on social media trying to demonstrate that this or that group is stronger than the other,” Anyangwe noted.

The Cameroonian transport minister has confirmed the death of all the 11 people on board during a plane crash in a forest in Cameroon on Wednesday, May 11.

State radio on Thursday reported that the nine passengers and two crew members of the propeller plane had died in the accident.

“The 11 occupants died, they have all been identified and recovered,” the Minister of Transport, Jean-Ernest Ngallé Bibehe, told journalists during a visit to the accident scene on Thursday evening.

In groups of two, gendarmes covered in sweat came out of the dense forest with the remains of the victims wrapped in white sheets, a journalist from AFP noted.

“There are mutilated bodies, others burned,” said a ministry official, who requested anonymity.

More than 200 villagers took part in the search for the bodies and debris, in addition to the gendarmes.

The two black boxes have been recovered and “they will shed light on the circumstances of this accident”, said Mr Bibehe.

“A strong wind was blowing before the crash, we believe that the bad weather conditions are at the origin of the accident,” said a policeman who requested anonymity.

The make of the plane has not been made public, but Cameroonian media report that it was a Dash 8-Q400, a turboprop aircraft made by Canadian company Bombardier.

The plane was carrying employees of COTCO and service companies from Yaoundé to a pumping station linked to the pipeline in Dompta, in the northeast.

The pilot of the aircraft carrying 11 people, which crashed in a forest in central Cameroon on Wednesday has been identified as Adzuayi Ewuga, daughter of Senator Solomon Ewuga, a former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State.

Ewuga, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), also served as Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory under the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.

According to local media reports, the aircraft was flying from Yaounde Nsimalen Airport to Belabo, in the east of the country when air traffic services lost radio contact.

The plane owned by Caverton Aviation Cameroon was chartered by a private company, the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company (COTCO) that maintains a hydrocarbon pipeline that runs between Cameroon and neighbouring Chad.

The deceased worked with the company which is a subsidiary of Caverton Offshore Support Group based in Lagos, Nigeria, which also controls Caverton Helicopters.

A family member, Oliver Slodgz Ewuga, also confirmed her death on Facebook.

“I Tried To Understand Why My Body System Failed To Fit Inn Since Yesterday, Now The Sign Is Revealed. My Only Family Pilot,God Knows Best.Am Really Heart Broken. Good Night Adzuayi Solomon Ewuga.Rest On Sis,” he posted.

The Vice President of the Ambazonia Interim Government Comrade Dabney Yerima says Biya French Cameroun’s biggest failure is the collapse of its entire projects in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia as the Francophone regime has been unable to confront the Southern Cameroons resistance.

Dabney Yerima made the comment in a lengthy conversation with Cameroon Concord News Group on Wednesday. The soft spoken exiled leader said La Republique du Cameroun is now facing a very serious internal crisis and things are falling apart between Yaoundé and Paris because the Biya regime has been unable to confront the Ambazonian resistance.

“There is presently a general realization deep within French Cameroun political elites that the assimilation and annexation of Southern Cameroons has been the biggest failure and that all French Cameroun political projects in Ambazonia have failed. The Ambazonian people are not ready to accept the continuation of the occupation even through a federal structure” Vice President Dabney Yerima noted.

Yerima blasted the current bout of Biya regime atrocities against British Southern Cameroons, saying, “What you are seeing today in Mamfe, Kumba, Bamenda, Ekondo Titi, Ekok and Kumbo are provocations, repression, killings and abuse, which have reached the point of total insolence and criminal ferocity.”

Asked whether the Southern Cameroons crisis has become a source of confusion for the corrupt Biya French Cameroun regime, Yerima said, “The Biya French Cameroun regime recently signed a military agreement with President Putin of Russia which gives Moscow the green light to help Yaoundé develop more repressive systems to confront the Ambazonian resistance but our Southern Cameroons Self Defense forces are also creating new forms of resistance that La Republique military does not know how to handle, including the hit-and-run tactics, which they have no recipe for and have no ability to control.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Dabney Yerima said the so-called special status to Southern Cameroonians has failed and is not accepted by the people of Ambazonia anymore.

President Paul Biya is now a shadow of himself and he is slowly but surely turning into a child as he approaches his final days here on planet earth. He met recently with his French doctor but had completely lost the power to speak.

Cameroon Intelligence Report gathered that the reviled dictator has been reduced to a wheelchair after moving to the extension of his palace in Mvomeka’a.  Medical care and well trained physicians are lacking in Cameroon after his 40-year-rule.

A source close to his family hinted this reporter late on Wednesday that Biya is almost turning into a child.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, he had made frequent visits to Geneva for medical care — because Cameroon’s own public health system crumbled thanks to his CPDM government’s lack of investment.

The so-called lion man now appears slumped and frail and is seen these days struggling to speak to everyone around him and blaming his collaborators for his failed presidency.

Both French and Southern Cameroonians are no longer interested in news about the man born into a Catholic family, once feted as an African democrat and champion of communal liberalism—but was ultimately corrupted by unchallenged power.

Biya remains a tyrant with a penchant for luxury and has wasted Cameroonian tax payer’s money in numerous five star hotels all over the world.

The war in Southern Cameroons, Boko Haram incursions, the difficult security situation in the east of the country, death squads, rigged elections and an imploding economy are all consequences of Biya’s relentless pursuit of power.

Cameroon is currently at the mercy of Biya and his appointees and under his 40-year-rule, the nation is suffering from an economic ruin, with runaway inflation, mass unemployment and food shortages.

He may never be held to account for the disaster he is presiding over. But some like Atanga Nji and Beti Assomo will face the long arm of the law.

Ambazonian fighters at NKOR Sub Division in Bui raided the village of Katatu and reportedly arrested Alhaji OUMAROU. Cameroon Intelligence Report sources hinted that the fighters’ confiscated 3 bikes after a heavy gun battle with elements from the 52 Mechanized Infantry Battalion. One Amba fighter was killed and one Cameroon government soldier seriously injured.

Cameroon Intelligence Report understands that Ambazonian fighters have asked everybody to leave NKOR as they plan to stage attacks against Cameroon government security forces in the coming days.

Elsewhere and precisely in Santa, a younger sister of retired colonel TAMANJONG was also arrested by Amba fighters who are demanding the sum of 3.5million francs CFA before they release her.

Extortion, kidnapping, ransom is now a method used by some Southern Cameroons Self Defense Groups to finance themselves through predation.

All fingers are pointing at the so-called Ambazonian Defence Forces (ADF) and its gang leader Cho Ayaba Lucas for the poor outings of some Southern Cameroons patriotic fighters and for encouraging the kidnapping business in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

A plane carrying 11 people crashed in a forest in central Cameroon on Wednesday, the Ministry of Transport said.

Air traffic controllers “lost radio contact with the aircraft” which was later “located in the forest” near Nanga Eboko, around 150 kilometres (90 miles) northeast of the capital Yaoundé, the ministry said in a statement.

A ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plane “crashed” and rescuers were “trying to see if it’s possible to save anyone”.

The plane was chartered by a private company, the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company (COTCO) that maintains a hydrocarbon pipeline that runs between Cameroon and neighbouring Chad, official sources told AFP.

The aircraft, whose type and make was not made public, was flying from Yaoundé-Nsimalen airport to Belabo, in the east of the country, the ministry statement said.

It was the first major air catastrophe reported in Cameroon since 2007, when a Kenya Airways plane carrying 114 people crashed after take-off from Douala Airport. There were no survivors in that accident.

Three years later, an investigation by Cameroon’s civil aviation authority concluded that the crash was due to pilot error.

Since then, Cameroon has only experienced minor air accidents involving small passenger planes or helicopters.

Worried about the series of ailments suffered by 90-year-old Paul Biya in April, the presidential entourage called on his personal physician.

A well-placed source with strong ties to President Biya’s personal physician had hinted Cameroon Intelligence Report that the head of state is clearly nearing his end.

Confirming our earlier report on the dictator, Africa Intelligence now says the president’s men have called in his personal French doctor from Paris.

Lately, Biya has been receiving pills and having a lot of blood taken for examination with a feeling of fatigue and general malaise.

A gunman has killed a notorious hacker/scammer in Bamenda after the hacker went around boasting about his exploits.

The gruesome scene took place in a neighborhood close to the Commercial Avenue in the Northwest regional capital of Bemenda in the early hours of Tuesday, sparking panic in the neighborhood.

The gunman, suspected to be an amba fighter, came on a bike with his friend, and when he saw the scammer who was about to leave his one-bedroom house, he discharged his gun in him before rushing back to where his colleague on the bike was waiting for him.

Eyewitnesses say the scene was gruesome but many onlookers said the scammer looked for his own death. “He has been a thorn in our side, an onlooker said,” adding that “taking him down is indeed good riddance. He and his friends hack everything from our MOMO accounts to our social media accounts.”

“He has many unemployed friends who want to live a luxurious life without sweating for it,” a neighbor of the victim told the Cameroon Concord News Group correspondent in Bamenda.

“With the war still going on, it is hard to report certain matters to the police. There are many young idle men around town and some of them have opted for criminality as a way of living and this is hurting our town,” the neighbor added.

“It is rumored that there are death squads in town revenging on people suspected of scamming families and friends,” a Bamenda resident who elected anonymity said.

“Since there is an active war going on, many people think that it is only the fighting that is producing corpses here in Bamenda. Many people are settling scores and they are using the war as a cover-up,” the Bamenda resident said.

“Many of the young men have gone down the route of crimes, hacking people’s account with the objective of making fast money. Some of them are meeting death in their path and if they don’t change their ways, they will meet a very bad fate,” he said.

It is rumored that the victim might have been killed because he scammed some rich Bamileke people in Bafoussam.

The Cameroon Concord News Group correspondent in Bamenda confirmed that the victim had recently been to Bafoussam on a business trip and when he returned, his lifestyle changed for the better.

Some people in the neighborhood who all elected anonymity said the dead man was a terror and his death was good riddance, adding that these boys hack any and everything, making everybody uncomfortable.

It is alleged that even the accounts of some prominent personalities get hacked, citing that of  Mr. Enow Abrams, the Elecam boss, whose account was hacked by a hacker who said the  election body was looking to set up offices in the regions and that those who paid in some money would be hired.

“I personally got that call and message. I am sure many people were victims, especially young people who are desperately looking for work. I turned down the offer as I suspected that the Elecam boss could not be directly involved in such a mess. I don’t know if the hacker was ever caught,” he said.

It is also alleged that the dead scammer/hacker spent most of his time online, seeking opportunities on Face book. It is also alleged that he had hacked many accounts, especially those of young university girls who are careless and are willing to run after rich people for money. He uses their information to get money and this might also be the cause of his death.

There is fear in Bamenda, as residents suspect that more killings could have been scheduled. Some of the victim’s friends are worried as they cannot explain what has happened to their friend.

Speaking to a security officer in Bamenda, the Cameroon Concord News Group correspondent learned that the Cameroon government has not invested a lot in cyber security and this could be why many young men are getting into that sector, hoping that they can get rich very fast.

But these are all illusions, the security officer said. He stressed that young people could be better off finding different opportunities that will grant them dignity and a pension when they retire. Scamming and hacking do not provide any pension and like in every other profession, hackers and scammers will get old and they will run out of energy and luck.

The security officer, who has sound IT knowledge stressed that hackers should know that their locations could easily be identified from the IP address from which their messages are sent. Every electronic device has an identifier which gives away the user’s location.

He underlined that hackers and scammers in Bamenda should be expecting such sporadic killings as they might be stepping on many big and wrong toes.

It is not too late to quit that nasty profession, he said, adding that nobody deserves to die for peanuts. “How much do those scammers and hackers even make,?”he questioned.

“Why spend your precious time and energy on things that will only attract pain and death? These young men can do better. However, it is up to them. The death of their friend today, should send home a strong message,” he concluded.
