Fako Lawyers To Begin Legal Actions Against The Divisional Officer For Tiko

Cameroon Concord has gathered intelligence that lawyers in Fako are set to begin legal actions against the Divisional Officer for Tiko soonest. Our Fako bureau chief reported some hours ago that On Monday 18^th of May during Clean up campaigns in Tiko, the Divisional Officer for Tiko, Che Patrick sealed Eagle Law Chambers; the office of Barrister Samuel Ashu Bessong. He was in the office with his colleague Forsac Eric. They were both locked in the office on grounds that their office was open during the cleanup campaign. Sources deep within the DO's office told Cameroon Concord Barristers Ashu Samuel Bessong and Forsac Eric were released after about 1 hour.

Lawyers in FAKO Division later had a crisis meeting at Airport Hotel in Tiko in which it was unanimously agreed to meet at the DO office the next day. On the 19 of May, 250 Lawyers met at the DO’S office and held a meeting with the DO and his top aides and some traditional authorities in Tiko. For close to 2 hours there were heated arguments and discussions prompting the DO to acknowledge that what happened was regrettable but that he could not in his official capacity apologize. The Fako lawyers left for Limbe for another meeting with the Senior Divisional Officer. The SDO pleaded with the lawyers to be calm and appreciated the fact that they came to dialogue with him. He promised to get back to the lawyers after meeting with the DO. Cameroon Concord has now been reliably informed that the President of FAKLA (seen here) has created a legal team that will be charged with instituting legal actions against the DO. Cameroon Concord is keeping an eye on this developing story and we will of course keep our readers posted.
