Former Police Commissioner Michael Meh has accused officials of Cameroon’s General Delegation for National Security of threatening and intimidating him. He made the allegations in his first public statement since abandoning his duty post and fleeing the country.
Meh, who served as a police commissioner in the North Region during the October 2025 presidential election, claims authorities accused him of supporting the armed struggle in former Southern Cameroons. He also alleges that they targeted him for supporting opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary during the election.
However, Meh’s allegations remain independently unverified. They follow a presidential decree signed in May 2026, which relieved him of his duties as head of the Public Road Control Unit in the North Region.
Meanwhile, the government faced criticism over its crackdown on opposition figures and civil society activists who challenged the October 2025 presidential election results. The Constitutional Council declared President Paul Biya the winner.
In a video circulated on social media on Tuesday, Meh particularly accused the Delegate General for National Security of orchestrating an operation to arrest him. He claimed uniformed officers were dispatched to carry out the arrest.
Meh did not disclose his current location. However, he confirmed that he was in exile and made a cryptic remark directed at the police chief, suggesting they would meet again.
He reportedly said he would soon see the police boss through his car’s rear-view mirror.
His statement has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure from service and the alleged threats against him. However, the authorities have yet to publicly respond to his accusations.
