The colonial experience did not in any way alter belief and practices in some communities in Cameroon. Witchcraft is not new in Cameroonian society, and despite several responses from traditional courts and state courts in the common law jurisdiction of Cameroon, the challenge is still evident. Witchcraft trials in Anglophone regions is sanctioned by applicable laws of the country. This article exposes contradictory developments in the fight against witchcraft in state courts in Anglophone regions of Cameroon. It argues that, while criminal law recognizes the existence of witchcraft as a popular belief system and punishes its practice, there are legal contradictions and procedural lapses, especially in the admissibility of evidence, rendering it ineffective in practice. To suppress witchcraft beliefs and accusations effectively, the article proposes, amongst other measures, enacting a new law on the suppression of witchcraft, thereby pruning for the respect for human rights and the use of education as a tool for the fight against false accusation.
