Ten new detainees of the Anglophone crisis arrived the Kondengui maximum security prison in Yaoundé on Tuesday 5 April, 2017. Among the new arrivals at the detention facility are two journalists; Atia Tilarious Azohnwi, Political Desk Editor of The Sun Newspaper and Amos Fofung, Buea bureau chief of The Guardian Post Daily Newspaper who were arrested last February 9.
The journalists and eight others were whisked off from the Yaounde military tribunal at about 6:15pm. They have since their arrest been detained at headquarters of the Judicial Police at Elig-Essono. Sources disclosed that they would be brought before a state prosecutor at the military court on Tuesday as charges against them are yet to be unveiled. About eight Journalists are now at the Kondengui prison since the crisis rocking the two English speaking regions began.
Two Detainees ‘Go Mad’
Meanwhile before the arrival of the ten ‘new’ detainees of the Anglophone crisis at the Kondengui prison, a group of Members of Parliament of the opposition SDF paid a visit to the prison with food items and words of comfort to the detainees. Addressing the press after Tuesday’s visit, SDF legal adviser and Vice President at the National Assembly, Hon Joseph Mbah Ndam said some of the detainees are not in good health.
“There are two who are mentally deranged. I don’t know whether it is as a result of the incarceration or the state of mind at the time they were ferried into Kondengui,” Hon Barrister Mbah Ndam said in the presence of his colleagues.
Besides the mentally deranged are two others; one that is epileptic “with wounds all over his body,” and one who has Asthma, complaining he has not been taking his drugs—cases that which the SDF MPs said they’re taking measures to provide them with medical legal assistance. “We have a duty to organize a defense for all of them. They are political victims, victims of circumstance,” the Vice President of the National Assembly and SDF MP stated.

The regime of Paul Biya shows no mercy. Putting journalist in prison to silence critical voices. It will not help you dictator. Our struggle has just started. You will lose and we shall win.
ALL OF OUR PARLIAMENTARIANS SHALL RETREAT FROM THE PARLIAMENT OF LRC IMMEDIATELY.
There is no way we will ever be one with such an evil, demonic entity.
I’m now seeing and understanding the effects of the way we Africans are been raised and no way am I going to raise any of my children In such a way.
That White JESUS we keep calling to where is it? Our spiritual immaturity is killing us.
How in the hell, what right do we have to condition a child to wait, count on something we very well know is coming not. We just kill that soul.
All over this world all other races have their life in their hands, they are train to kill evil when it appears, only us African run around hallucinating with this damn White jesus coming to save us.
The same race, people that gave us this jesus don’t even count on it but we African do.
Russia, America, Europe, China, … don’t call on no savior when they the devil shows up, they deal with it squarely right there.
We Africans are raising our children as retards and this is the result. A bunch of fools, lunatic, idiots with guns takes a whole notion, its people into bondage and not a single soul can do a damn thing, even the damn so call savior jesus. We are so backward I don’t know how we are going to catch up with the world.
My children are not getting this crap, if it is not working in the here and now for me then not only is it of no good but also evil. While waiting for that damn jesus to come, I better take thirty years of my life, work my ass and master that military science and be ready for these maggots.
We Africans are joking, This evil will keep hunting us generation after the other until we collectively take the task of putting it exactly where it belong. I for one I’m done with it.
biya and his crony regime is a disgrace in this century, he travels round the world and enjoy the good life style provided by politicians for their citizens, yet he has a cruel, dictatorship,colonial primitive attitude dealing with his own citizens, he has planted too many evil seeds over 34 years of dictatorship, colonial primitive mentality, everything that goes up must come down, biya’s regime has no place in modern society,
