Cameroon operate armoured vehicle for presidential protection
Cameroon is operating the Israeli Saymar Musketeer armoured
vehicle, and using it for presidential protection.
Cameroon’s Presidential Guard Reconnaissance and Support Group
includes a Musketeer platoon, as well as fire support, anti-aircraft, and
anti-terrorist units.
The publication reports that Cameroon's Presidential Guard is the
first known user of the vehicle, which is based on a Toyota Land Cruiser
chassis.
Although one of the Musketeers was in the capital Yaounde during
the official state visit by Italian President Sergio Mattarella on 18 March, it
is believed the vehicles have been in service since 2014.
The six-seat vehicle was seen earlier this month fitted with a
remotely operated weapon station with a 7.62 mm FN MAG machinegun.
The Musketeer was unveiled in 2009 by Saymar, which subsequently
was taken over by Elbit Systems. It features Stanag Level 1 ballistic
protection that can be upgraded to B7 level if requested, or Stanag Level 3.
Last year the United States ordered 15 Acmat Bastion armoured
vehicles from France for Cameroon.
Cameroon also received in February, the first two of six
refurbished Mi-24 attack helicopters.
They will be placed at the disposal of the BIR’s Operation
Alpha Command, tasked with tackling Boko Haram militants in the Far North
Province of Cameroon, joining two Mi-17s acquired from Russia in 2013 as well
as Bell 412 and Gazelle helicopters, the latter equipped with HOT missiles.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
