The head office of The Median Newspaper, situated on the first floor of the Friendship Pharmacy Building in Melen, opposite Synergies Africaines, is now a shadow of what it used to be. Some yet unknown persons forced their way into the office in the night of Tuesday 10 November, turned the place upside down and inside out before carting away all that they considered important and valuable.
    The burglary was discovered by the editor of the newspaper, Ojong Steven Ayukogem, who got to the office at about 8.30 on Tuesday morning only to realize, to his utter surprise and dismay, that the office had been attacked and ransacked, with all files, books and papers and other items scattered on the floor. The bookshelf and the cupboard were also ransacked and their contents thrown out or carried away.
    “Upon opening the doors to the office, I noticed that just every thing was scattered on the floor. So I told myself the place must have been attacked. I immediately alerted my closest neighbor – MJ optique, who joined me along with other neighbours to look round the office and figure out what had happened, how it happened and when,” Steve said, adding: “My surprise was all the more because i thought after reinforcing the doors with iron bars the place had been secured; little did I know some people had taken their time to study the place and discover the loophole.”

    The unknown persons made their way into the office through the toilet window, smashing down the wash-hand basin. They ransacked the office, bringing out every book and files probably in search of money. They also forced open the door separating the newsroom from the editor’s office and pulled out the standby generator that was locked inside.
    They made away with two laptop computers, a flat screen TV set, a camera, a scanner, a printer, a printer charger, two recorders, two mobile phones, USB keys, portable bags, stamps and stamp pads etc. However and perhaps because they could not force open the iron door of the office, they abandoned the standby generator this, not after they had pulled it towards the door.
    It is however not understood how the “saboteurs” got into the building given that the two doors that one must go through before getting inside were all locked.
    Meantime, a complaint has been lodged at the Melen gendarmerie and investigations have proceeded.
