The
“Yang I” was caught fishing in restricted areas near Limbe on June 27, 2016.
The fish caught in the vessel was sold to the public for consumption at an auction sale conducted at the Tiko Warf last 27 June, in the presence of the Divisional Officer for Tiko, Patrick Che Ngwashi, and the South West Regional Delegate for MINEPIA, Dr. Andu Walters Ndi.
A
fishing vessel named Yang I, fishing in restricted Cameroon territorial water
areas, was apprehended by a joint patrol team by the Maritime Naval Base in
Limbe (Cameroon Navy) and the personnel of the Ministry of Livestock Fisheries
and Animal Industries (MINEPIA) on 24 June, 2016.
The fish caught in the vessel was sold to the public for consumption at an auction sale conducted at the Tiko Warf last 27 June, in the presence of the Divisional Officer for Tiko, Patrick Che Ngwashi, and the South West Regional Delegate for MINEPIA, Dr. Andu Walters Ndi.
The Divisional Officer told the press that “the vessel was caught violating the fishing
norms as they were not only fishing in restricted areas but also using a
compacted net that would catch even the eggs and the smallest protected sizes
of fish thereby preventing regeneration and sustainability.
Fishing norms
require that sustainability of fish in water be ensured, but their material
carried everything in the water even the eggs such that if we leave the company
to continue this process, in the next six months we will not have fish in the
market, the Patrick Che Ngwashi explained.
“For this reason the fish caught in
this process will be sold to the public and the amount paid to the State
treasury” he went on.
He
added that the illegal fishing nets used was officially destroyed and burnt.
Mr. Che Ngwashi stressed that the company will pay a fine of 7 million FCFA to
the public treasury according to the regulations in force adding that this
would serve as deterrent to other companies of similar bad faith.

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.
