The people of the Biyem-Assi neighbourhood woke up to a tragic morning on Thursday December 17, 2015. Felix Ngo, a retired servant and Quarter Head of Rue des Cannes Biyem-Assi, was stabbed and killed by some unidentified individuals at about 1:00 a.m. When Cameroon Tribune Reporters got to the scene a crowd stood in front of the residence of the diseased to condole with the family and also wondering who must have been behind such gruesome murder.

Eyewitness reports say Felix Ngo went out of his house shortly after midnight to carry out is usual patrol in the area to see if the neighbourhood was safe. Before leaving his house he was playing cards with his wife and his children were still awake. According to the reports, a gang of bandits who were breaking into a bar attacked him and stabbed him three times on the back.  With the help of neighbours Felix Ngo was immediately rushed to the hospital where he died a few hours later. Meanwhile the criminals are at large.

Some of the neighbours said the area has become insecure during the past few years. “Since the opening of the new bar in this neighbourhood the rate of insecurity has heightened. People no longer go about freely especially in the evenings,” said one neighbour. However, police investigations are going on to find the culprits. Felix Ngo lives behind a wife, five children and several grand children.
