Cameroon: 7 million Francs CFA stolen from church coffers

An atmosphere of confusion reigns at the Presbyterian Church Nsimeyong in Yaounde after the sum of 7 million Francs CFA is alleged to have been stolen from the church coffers.

According to information gathered, the sum of 14 million Francs CFA was collected from a fund raising on Sunday 18 June and added to 7 million Francs CFA which was already in the church coffers.

On the 19^th of June, some Christians while coming to church early in the morning noticed the door to the office of the church treasurer open and they raised an alarm. It was discovered that the save in the office was forced open and the sum of 7 million from the 21 million was missing while 14 million was still intact. 

Rev. Pastor Kang Denis while heading to Buea that morning was informed and he made a U-Turn to Yaounde to assess the situation and investigations have been opened.

Some arrests have been made for interrogation and an official statement is still awaited from the Synod Office.
