The traditional leaders of the Ekang Beti Benanga people have sent a letter to the Minister of State, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals to express their indignation following the assassination of their “subject”.
Blood has been shed. A life has been violently taken. The crime remains unpunished. The alleged assassins are still free. The traditional leaders of the Ekang Beti Benanga are indignant. According to them, Louise Mballa Ntsama met her death “in horrific circumstances, leaving unwanted grief in her family”.

The Zomlo’o are demanding justice for Louise Mballa Ntsama from the Minister of Justice, Laurent Esso, to whom they are asking for clarification on the stalled investigation. For them, the modus operandi is similar to that of the assassination of Martinez Zogo. However, for the journalist, “on the mere suspicion” of high-ranking personalities of the Republic, arrests were made. And the judicial procedure is ongoing. They denounce the double standard of justice that seems to be present in the case of Louise Mballa Ntsama, in which no arrests have yet been mentioned.
In the absence of culprits, and if nothing is done, the Zomlo’o announce spiritual rites aimed at sanctioning all those who participated directly or indirectly in this assassination. They are pleased in this regard with the rites performed after the discovery of the body of their son Martinez Zogo, which reportedly produced positive results.
