Few days after Brenda Biya threatened the first lady with a knife, the Head of State left the national capital last Friday
morning for a brief private stay in Europe.
The clement weather of Friday morning with temperatures
hovering around 25°Celsius was good enough for a presidential outing; as at
early as 7AM there were indications that the President of the Republic was out
for something as Presidential Guards began to take up positions at strategic
points on the 20-kilometer stretch of road between the Presidential palace and
the Nsimalen International Airport.
Before the presidential motorcade took off from State
House, the road had been cleared by security officials even if at some crossing
points, the police made it easy for early morning city dwellers to go about
their chores by crossing from one part of the city to the other even in the cut
or reduced traffic circulation.
The President of the Republic arrived at the
Presidential lounge of the Yaounde-Nsimalen International Airport at exactly 11
am where on the welcome line were the President of the Senate, Niat Njifenji;
the Prime Minister, Philemon Yang, the Minister, Secretary-General at the
Presidency of the Republic, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh; a Vice Speaker of the National
Assembly, Théophile Baoro;, the Secretary General of the Central Committee of
the Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement, Jean Nkuete; the Deputy Director of
the Civil Cabinet at the Presidency Joseph LE; the Delegate General for
National Security Martin Mbarga Nguele; the Director General for External
Research, Maxime Léoplod Eko Eko; the Governor of the Centre Region, Joseph
Otto Wilson; the Senior Divisional Officers of the Mfoundi and Mefou-and-Afamba
, Jean Claude Tsila and Emmanuel Mariel Djikdent respectively and the
Government Delegate to the Yaounde City Council, Gilbert Tsimi Evouna .
The President of the Republic stopped briefly at the lounge before
heading for the aircraft. The same team greeting him on arrival also saw him
off after his brief stay in the lounge where he, unusually did not receive any
official although he was heard giving some specific instructions to the Prime Minister.
His plane took off at about 11.20AM for his "brief private stay" as a
State House Communiqué issued later stated

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.
