There are unconfirmed reports that some top government officials who served the Biya’s regime in various capacities, including former Arts and Culture Minister, Ama Muna may be arrested in the days ahead.

Besides Ama Muna, the list includes the name of former minister of Sports and Physical Education, Adoum Garoua.
Apart from the two cited ministers, The Cameroon Journal learnt that former Director General of the Cameroon Water Utilities Corporation, CAMWATER, Jean William Sollo, former administrative director of the Indomitable Lions, Andre Nguidjol as well as two unnamed Inspectors of State and one Treasury Inspector are in the list.

We gathered that the former Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Adoum Garoua, who was sacked during the October 2, 2015 cabinet shakeup, has since been deprived of his international travel documents. Andre Nguidjol and William Sollo have also reportedly been barred from leaving the country.

Local news reports have reported the travel ban on them as coming from the Attorney General of the Yaounde Special Criminal court, Justine Aimée Ngounou, made public March 3.

In the case of Adoum Garoua, no particular reason has been advanced for his travel restriction, but speculations are rife that it is not unconnected to his activities during his tenure as the country’s sports boss.

The Supreme State Audit office had expressed misgivings on issues related to over-billing under Garoua’s watch when it carried out an audit in January 2015 on the use of funds made available by government for the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil and the bonuses paid to Cameroon for her participation in the tournament.

There also were reports of how Cameroon’s delegation to the Brazil world cup constituted mostly of friends, family members and girlfriends of Garoua, who had no specific role to play at the South America expedition.

Apart from the Brazil world cup, Garoua was in charge of three other major international football events between 2011 and October 2015 when he was fired. They included; the 2014 African women’s championship in Namibia, the 2015 Africa cup of nations in Equatorial Guinea and the 2015 FIFA women’s world cup in Canada. All these outings were marred by complaints of wasteful spending by delegations, problems related to players’ bonuses and other personality conflicts among delegation members.

About Ama Muna, details of investigations on her are still skeletal. However, French language tri-weekly, L’Epervier, insinuated in its Monday edition that her unbridled and overt head-strong attitude towards the prime minister in the last two years of her tenure , as well as her alleged mismanagement of what the newspaper referred to as “les fonds de souveraineté” are reasons she is about facing justice.

William Sollo, who is also under the radar, is accused of many wrongdoings while at the helm of CAMWATER. He is alleged to have arrogated to himself three years of advanced salary payments when he sensed that his days at the state corporation were literally numbered.
