The former President of the Cameroon Bar Council, Barrister Akere Muna said the arrest of Social media activist,Junior Ngombe was one too much.'Junior Ngombe has reportedly been abducted and taken to the Gendarmerie Headquarters, also known as SED. As a social media activist, he has been advocating for voter registration and participation. Concerned about his uncertain future, he rightfully expresses his worries and frustrations, as allowed by the constitution.' Akere Muna said.The Transparency International expert said Junior is a true Cameroonian who has decided to stay in the country and face the challenges but despite his efforts his patriotic actions, he was rewarded with kidnapping, 'Despite the challenges he faces, he remains hopeful for a better future in Cameroon. He has not taken the risks of crossing dangerous territories like the Sahara or the Mediterranean, yet he now finds himself in a precarious situation within his own country.'According to the legal mind, Cameroon government officials a re corrupt and the government is hiding them while chasing harmless citizens'the unpatriotic corrupt and greedy individuals involved in the Glencore scandal seem to receive better protection from the state they have captured, than a young citizen expressing legitimate concerns. This arrest is one too many. Let us stand together to demand the release of Junior Ngombe.'Source: Cameroon News Agency
