By Doh Bertrand Nua in Kumba

Apostle John Suleman says there will be mass shootings in Kumba

The town of Kumba, Chief Town of Meme Division is witnessing an unprecedented wave of panic following the sporadic shooting prophesy of Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries International in Nigeria. The prophesy of the man-of-God on looming sporadic gun battles that would befall Kumba in the South West Region of Cameroon was made during his live church service Sunday January 13, 2019.

                In the course of the live service watched across the world through the Celebration TV channel, the pastor asked if they were Christians in the church who had anything to do with Kumba before proceeding with his sporadic shooting prophecy. He asked Christians all over to pray for the town of Kumba.

                “…..If you have something to do with Kumba... Kumba…Kumba… please stand up. If you are a Cameroonian and you have something to do with Kumba please stand up. I want us to pray for Kumba. Kumba is part of Cameroon. I want us to pray for Cameroon. The Lord showed me a vision this morning that was not good at all,” the Apostle said.

                The man-of-God went further to state “The counsel of the Lord over that part of Cameroon… only God’s counsel will stand. We bind this… I just saw sporadic shooting... shooting… shooting...” While rhetorically asking his Christians if they knew what is meant by sporadic shooting, Apostle Suleman said he saw “spraying of houses…spraying…enter a place spray everybody…spray…spray…spray the people.

Death of Witness Closes Homosexuality Case

By Tiku Louisa Ntui in Kumba

A court in the South West Region has accepted to close a case involving Ngoumbe Mama Njoya and Hamidou Yusuf accused of practicing homosexuality because Paton Salamato who stood as witness against the accused has died.

                When the case came up for hearing not long ago, it was revealed that Salamato had reported to the police way back in 2013 that she caught her boyfriend, by name Ngoumbe Mama Njoya, born on July 10, 1979 in Kumba, Meme Division of the South West Region, having anal sex with another man by name Hamidou Yusuf, aged 27 years.

                The State Prosecutor told the presiding magistrate that when Salamato reported the incident to the security forces, a team of private detectives was sent to track down the accused who had fled the vicinity of their crime to an unknown destination.

                The detectives found out that both Ngoumbe and Hamidou had escaped from Buea, in Fako Division and capital of the South West region and were headed for Kumba, the Meme Divisional capital and home town of Ngoumbe.

Yaah Judith AchidiAchu Begins Cleaning NkottoEmane’s Mess AtCamtel

-Sacks 50 workers for indiscipline

-Many more to go as diplomas & school certificates are being investigated for authenticity

The General Manager of the Cameroon Telecommunications (CAMTEL), Judith Yah Sunday AchidiAchu, has sacked 50 workers of the company.

                The move came after the resolve by MrsAchidiAchu, who was appointed just a month ago, to modernise the company which is limping and suffering from a huge debt burden.

                These workers are accused of holding fraudulent certificates with some of them earning fictitious salaries and allowances which has plunged the State-owned company into a financial quagmire.

                After drilling the workers in a disciplinary council meeting recently, MrsAchidiAchu concluded that the company would do well if it separates with them. An atmosphere of uncertainty now reigns among the workers as to the next move of the lady manager.

50 FcfaTo Add On Beer Prices

-Trade Minister, MagloireAtangana

Cameroon’s Trade Minister, Luc MargloireMbargaAtangana, has announced that there would be no marked increase in beer prices in 2019.

                This was the fallout of a meeting the Minister had with representatives of five major brewery companies in Cameroon after rumours went viral of an eminent increase in prices of beer and related products which are highly consumed by Cameroonians.

                According to the Minister, the brewery companies have promised to maintain the current prices and there are no plans of changing the status-quo for the time being.

                He also announced that prices of goods of prime necessity like rice, fish would also be maintained, an assurance he got from importers of these products as well.

                However, Minister MbargaAtangana urged local producers to step up their production so as to meet the ever growing demands in the markets. He frowned at the fact that every year Cameroon spends about FCFA 100 billion to import rice from other countries.
