How 'Disastrous' could 'Brutally murdered' be for Cameroonian Bishops?

Catholic bishops in Cameroon made a spectacular media outing on Thursday during which they asserted in very strong terms that their brother Benoit Balla had been "brutally murdered."
The day before they had issued a written document containing the message which they presented during the news conference.
They urged government to shed light on the mystery as soon as possible.
Bishop Jean Marie Benoit Balla was found dead along the banks of River Sanaga after reportedly going missing for about three days at the end of last month and the beginning of  this month.
Preliminary investigation reports suggested that it was a case of murder, not suicide.

The declaration of catholic bishops comes at a time when investigation is on going. If the 'competent' investigation team proves the contrary, there will be chaos on both sides.
The bishops will have to give enough evidence to substantiate their claims.
The servants of God had simply asserted equivocally that their brother was brutally murdered. They failed to say who murdered the bishop, and how.

On the other hand, the government of Cameroon will have its reputation further tarnished, even beyond repair. Investigations in the country are almost always controversial.

Sometimes, the results are never published at all. That suggests why the report of  the investigation on the Eseka train derailment  was considered a historic attempt by government to shake off the mystery of governance in the country.
But it was not void of controversy, after all.
This declaration is therefore insinuating that investigators shift their target from  possible murder findings to attempts  uncover the mask on the  'murderer(s)' and the methods used.
