December and Bushfaller saga! On the 2nd of December 2015, Two bushfallers, Michael Etchu and Paula met on a flight while heading to Cameroon for the Christmas holidays. The pair had an instant connection and by the end of the flight, they were in each other’s arms. 

When they arrived Cameroon, Michael’s fiancé of three years and a fifth year student in the University of Douala Cameroon was at the airport to pick him up and noticed the chemistry between Michael and Paula. Yvette reportedly confronted Michael about it and he said the girl was just his friend’s wife and they just met on the flight.

The next day, Michael reportedly emailed Paula his Cameroon number and then left the house to see her. Michael only came back to his fiancé after three days and gave her flimsy excuses about his activities for the past three days. The couple went into a heated argument but soon settled the issue. 

Paula however, kept calling Michael because he allegedly told her about Yvette but said he was going to end the relationship as he had no feeling for her again.

On Thursday 17th December 2015, Yvette spotted Michael and Paula entering a popular restaurant in Douala while she was returning home from lectures. She reportedly went to the market and bought a knife, came back to where she saw the new love birds and waited for them outside for two hours. When the pair finally came out from the restaurant , she confronted them and a heated argument started. Yvette then pulled out the knife and stabbed Paula on upper right arm and at the face.

Paula was rushed to the General Hospital Douala where she is currently fighting for her life. Yvette was arrested and taken to the 7th District Police station and appeared before the State Counsel on Monday 21st December.

Michael has not left Paula's beside since the incident occurred.
