Nemesis strike: Late Mgr. Bala’s casket military escort perishes in ghastly car crash

Thousands of mourners, who were conveying the mortal remains of the late Bishop of Bafia, Mgr. Jean Marie Beniot Bala, to its final resting place, August 2, were bemused when the military escort who was leading the ending convoy collided with a Toyota car.     

The Motorcade rider, Buba Gautier, died en route to the Efok Hospital, after the ghastly car crash.

The mortal remains of the deceased Bishop of Bafia were removed from the Yaounde General Hospital Mortuary in the presence of members of the National Episcopal Conference of Cameroon, NEC, clerics, family members, friends, Christ lay faithful and the personal representative of President Paul Biya, Justice Minister, Laurent Esso.  

During the Requiem that took place at the Our Lady of Victory Cathedral Yaounde, Mgr. Joseph Akonga Essomba in his homily stunned the mourners when he stated without blinking that the killers of Bishop Bala were present in church, pretending to be weeping even more than the bereaved.

“The hypocrites responsible for the evil killings of our colleagues are here present and pretending to be sympathizers and well wishers. They are struggling to destroy the church from within,” Mgr. Essomba declared.

He re-echoed the Bishops’ stand that Mgr. Bala was brutally murdered.

The Priest said no matter the evil plans against the men and women of God, the Catholic Church shall always remain very strong and objective.

It will not crumble for it is built on a foundation of Jesus Christ, who is the truth and the light.

Tongues are already wagging that even if the Government is shielding the murderers of the Prelate, God will avenge the death of his servant.
