Director of SICC, accused of robbing Cameroonians of billions

Brigitte Soppo the executive director of SICC, is involved in a situation in which her company was reported to have robbed Cameroonians of over a billion FCFA. she was called before the judiciary police on 14 September to give an account of what had happened.

The construction company, the Southwest International Construction Company (SICC) that was presented as an American group of people, who launched activities in Cameroon in 2010, started receiving hell from the public, after they got into an agreement to construct lodging facilities in Yassa Douala, which they never did after having collected money from people and boasting of 40 years of experience.

Immediately they were given the project, they convinced in no space of time over 182 people both within and without Cameroon to get involved in their activities. These Cameroonians who were now interested in buying the houses to be constructed by SICC, had to make an upfront payment of 10% of the amount for the kind of house they preferred to go in for.

Credit Fonciere came into the deal as the bank where the buyers had to pay their money. Most of them paid between 2.5 and 47 million to the bank.

Seven years later today, the families that paid for the houses have seen nothing. They even went to credit foncier to ask for their money but the bank told them SICC had removed everything and gone silent, while Soppo claims those people complaining had been given back their money.
