Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News

Breaking

Douala, January 31, 2024 - In a significant development, the notorious figure Hervé Bopda, son of the late industrialist Emmanuel Bopda, was apprehended last night around 1 a.m. in the Bonabéri district of Douala. Bopda currently resides in detention at the Bonanjo Judicial Police as investigations unfold.

Accusations against Bopda, a prominent member of the Douala jet-set, paint a disturbing picture of a sexual predator shielded by wealth and influence. The allegations, disclosed through social media platforms like Facebook and others, suggest a history of sexual misconduct, often under the threat of a firearm.

The revelations stem from N’zui Manto, an activist residing abroad, who began sharing accounts of alleged victims on January 19. The activist claims to have received hundreds of testimonies, unveiling a web of prostitution involving businessmen, influential personalities, and even members of law enforcement and the military.

Hervé Bopda, known for his connections in the economic capital of Cameroon, faces accusations spanning two decades and various cities, including Douala, Yaoundé, Limbé, Buea, and Kribi. Shockingly, some testimonies assert that Bopda assaulted women openly on popular streets and in renowned restaurants, with alleged complicity from managers and his bodyguards.

"I was 17 at the time. He held me captive for days with his girlfriend... He forced us to be intimate with him together," recounts one presumed victim. Another victim, Stéphanie, alleges that in 2020, Bopda attempted to assault her at her residence, coercing her into compromising acts and threatening her with a weapon.

The #StopBopda movement has gained traction on social media, reflecting the shock and outrage within Cameroon. As the investigation unfolds, the nation awaits further details on this scandal that has sent shockwaves through its social fabric.#BreakingNews #CameroonConcord
