We represent and protect the legal interest of Madame KONGNSO ANTOINETTE GOHLA, resident at Sandpit, Buea, Fako Division, South West Region-Cameroon. We shall hereinafter simply refer to her as “Our Client”
The suspect Mr EWOME EKOBO JOHN alias MOJA MOJA Is a Cameroonian soldier, Chief of Bwassa Villiage, resident in Buca, Fako Division, South West Region and is known for pulling stunts and chasing shadows and did same with his team of unidentified armed men by storming the resident of our client at Sandpit, Buea on the 2nd day of October 2021, where they proceeded to mistreat and physically assaulted our client in the full glare of her two kids before arresting her and her two kids into their waiting van. When she was arrested by the suspect, our client and her kids were paraded round the town before being taken to the Gendarmerie Legion of the South West Region Buea, where they were received and kept in custody incommunicado in the cells of the said Gendarmerie Legion. Our client confirmed to us that, she was seriously assaulted by Chief Moja Moja and his team of armed men and was summarily interrogated in the French language in the absence of her lawyers on her relationship with a one “General No Pity” who is believed to be a leading separatist fighter.
Learned Commissioner For Government, it suffice to mention that, our client is a mother of two children and currently pregnant (eight (8) months pregnancy) was assaulted and arrested without a due warrant by Mr. EWOME EKOBO JOHN alias MOJA MOJA. A video that went viral on social media’s can confirm that that and viewing it one can clearly see that Chief Moja Moja, has taken the role of the Judicial Police Officer, State Counsel and Magistrate into his hands. Since the authorities have been smiling with him as he tramples on the same way, he has now gone to the point of molesting an innocent pregnant woman and children on claims that they are linked to separatist fighters.

Learned State, it is a sacrosanct principle in law that criminal responsibility is individual and someone cannot be punished for the crimes of another. We, therefore, pray you to open thorough investigations into this matter and bring the suspect(s) to book under sections 277-3 and 338 of the Cameroon Penal Code while allowing our client to enjoy the arrival of her newborn baby and that will be Justice.
Yours sincerely.
