Cameron: Witness in Martinez‑Zogo case reports threats and attempts at influence A senior military officer, who is a key witness in the Martinez‑Zogo investigation, testified at the Yaoundé military court that he has been subjected to threats against his life and attempts to influence him. The officer, who chose to remain anonymous, said he had received intimidation and that his safety was at risk. The witness also sent a warning letter to the Minister Delegate to Defence, which Jeune Afrique obtained. The letter detailed the nature of the threats and the circumstances that prompted the officer to seek protection. The special criminal hearing concerning the Martinez‑Zogo case was originally scheduled for 6 October. It was postponed because a witness was unavailable, and the proceedings were eventually held on 12 and 13 October at the military court in Yaoundé. During the hearings, the new government commissioner, Lieutenant‑Colonel André Éric Atemengue Omgba, and the attorneys representing the parties questioned the witness. The testimony is part of a broader inquiry into alleged misconduct involving the former Minister of Defence, Martinez‑Zogo. Article source: JeuneAfrique | Image credit: JeuneAfrique
