Popular Cameroonian singer Anne-Marie Nzie dies at 84
Nicknamed the “golden voice of Cameroon”, the singer died Tuesday evening in a hospital in the capital Yaounde where she had been admitted several days ago, Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV) said.
Celebrated saxophonist Manu Dibango, reacting to the news, said Nzie had
not so much a “a voice of gold” as a “voice of diamonds”.
“She was unique,” he told CRTV. “She survived so many things and kept her voice right up to the end.”
Born in southern Cameroon, Nzie was considered the matriarch of the country’s music scene.

The government gave her a car emblazoned with the phrase
“the golden voice of Cameroon”. Her biggest hits included 1984’s “Liberte”,
which became a rallying cry for opponents of President Paul Biya demanding
democratic reforms. Nzie did not approve of the opposition’s adoption of her
song.

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.
