Chief Justice Ayah Paul Abine who has been in detention for three months running as a result of the Southern Cameroons crisis has broken his silence. In his first message published through his son Ayah Ayah on Tuesday 18th April, 2017 on Facebook, Chief Justice Ayah calls on all Cameroonians to keep records on all the atrocities and hold fast to the struggle. He wrote:
“.. Tell all Cameroonians at home and abroad to keep a record of all ‘anglophone’ victims of the ongoing crisis. Jelously keep records of all those who have lost their lives in particular, as well as those whose most intimate intimacies have been brutally violated, as well as they who have lost material property, alongside the complete/precise address of their families.
I will honour them in a very special but symbolic way; and at the appointed time, when God pulls me out of here, be it in the near or distant future. Equally help me tell their families that I feel their pain; For THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE IS BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING.
Everyday, in my communion with the Most High, I hear their voices and feel the spiritual tears behind the innocence in their spilt blood, encouraging me to stand on my feet till the end. I must honour them in a special way at the appointed time, be it in this life or in the life to come. Equally tell all Cameroonians of good will to pray, for there is a God that LIveth and Heareth; HE has gone before US and HE Himself will fight for HIS own. PEACE BE WITH THEM ALL…”

One of the greatest man of our time.
This is one of the most courageous individual I have come to know. What makes me respect him so much is that he is not a young person. Normally, human nature dictates that as one gets older, one turn away for risking, sacrificing their life.
Our hearts goes to you sir and your family, we thank you for your words of strength.
In the name of God I bless you Sir. We still need you alive. But when you start talking in this manner, we fear the end.
A very long life Sir
Yes, people should keep all records of the names of the people arrested, tortured and/or killed. Soon, all those in the Biya administration should be taken before a court of law to be held accountable…or, if they choose, go down just the same way as Gadaffi.
These killers surrounding and including Paul Biya must be held accountable and punished.
If biya things that by arresting people is the best thing to do rather than going down him self to put things in order he keeps quite in his comfort soon and going to other people’s country they have been trying to put in order, this make him a coward. The people he call police and soldiers are there to implement their strength on civilians who are armless what a shame
