The Governor of the Littoral region, Joseph Beti Assomo, last Friday on behalf of Cameroon's Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Defense received a donation of military equipment from the Obama Administration to the Cameroonian defense forces. In all, 850 heavy helmets and 850 bulletproof vests were delivered to the Cameroon government in Douala by the United States Consul John Taylor.
As usual, Governor Joseph Beti Assomo stated that the US donations will help strengthen the physical protection of our troops at the front against the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram. As instructed from Yaoundé, the Governor thanked the United States government and its people on behalf of the Head of State President Paul Biya. Cameroon Concord's Chief Correspondent in Douala hinted at the time of writing this report that the US military gift is significant bearing the same message similar to the potatoes meal and tasteless wine President Obama offered African Heads of State during last year's Africa-US Summit in Washington.

Twenty-eight inmates escaped from a Brazilian jail after three women in fantasy police costumes "seduced" prison wardens. Police found three wardens naked and handcuffed inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil, the morning after the mass break-out. The women reportedly drugged the prison guards by giving them spiked whisky after convincing them to take part in an orgy, according to investigators.
Inmates then left the prison through the main doors, even taking with them guns and munitions they had taken from prison caches. Police later found a bag of lingerie and dominatrix police uniforms believed to have been worn by the temptresses. Last night photos of one the naked wardens, believed to have been leaked by amused police officers who found him, had been shared thousands of times on social network sites.
The three women - one of them reportedly the girlfriend of one of the prisoners who escaped - arrived at the prison at three o'clock on Thursday morning and asked to be let inside to "chat and drink", police said. The prison guards reportedly obliged and were soon persuaded to leave their posts, accompanying the girls to staff sleeping quarters. After drugging the wardens the women handcuffed them, took their keys and unlocked all the prison's cells, according to chief Angelina de Andrades Ferreira.
She told a news conference: "The plan was to seduce them. They served them cheap whisky with some substance to knock them out, then unlocked the central gate which accesses the internal cells. "Whoever wanted to escape left by the front door. "From the moment they drank the whisky the agents don't remember a thing. One was found dizzy, trying to wake up. Another slept for the whole afternoon and couldn't even be questioned."
The inmates took three 12 caliber rifles shotguns, two 38 caliber revolvers and munition, she said. Ms Ferreira said the escape was planned by the boyfriend of one of the women, Bruno Amorim, 18, was was serving time for attempted murder, robbery and firearms possession. She said: "Everything indicated that he planned and executed everything, with the help of his girlfriend." She said the three prison officers had been arrested and will be charged with "facilitating a jailbreak" and "culpable embezzlement" because of the theft of firearms.
On Friday eight of the 28 prisoners had been recaptured as police launched a massive operation to track down the fugitives. One inmate was found wandering around the centre of Nova Mutum in a drunken state, holding one of the stolen rifles. Another was caught after stealing a pick-up truck from a farm and crashing it, police said.
