Assassination of Martinez Zogo: Paul Chouta makes startling revelations

Cameroon’s whistleblower, Paul Chouta in exile, has made a series of serious revelations on the events leading to the assassination of late journalist Martinez Zogo.

He made the claims in an open letter to the examining magistrate of the Yaoundé Military Tribunal via his Facebook page on June 21, 2023. Most of his revelations seemed to point at a direct implication of now-detained business mogul, Amougou Belinga to the assassination of late Martinez Zogo.

Paul Chouta revealed in the open letter that he communicated with Martinez Zogo on the phone, one week before he was brutally murdered.

“He called me precisely on January 9, 2023, at exactly 1:51 pm and asked me to be very careful. He told me that he had received information from someone close to Amougou Belinga, one of the suspects already under custody. He said the suspect had decided to deal with him and the rest of us,” Chouta has claimed.

The conversation lasted approximately 4 minutes as said by the whistleblower. He also mentioned that the late journalist provided him with an exclusive list of 7 media men who had been earmarked by Mr. Amougou Belinga.

The list consisted of names like; “Paul Chouta, Haman Mana, Jacques Blaise Mvie and his editor-in-chief, Dieudonne Mveng, Christophe Bobiokono, and George Gilbert Baongla.”

Further details from the open letter say “Martinez Zogo shared this list with a commissioner whose name he never mentioned and was advised by this same commissioner to expose the list.”

A live Facebook session was planned to shine the light on the affair by both Martinez Zogo and Paul Chouta but got canceled by unforeseen circumstances according to the whistleblower.

Paul Chouta, who is equally one of Cameroon’s most persecuted journalists is currently in Germany. The journalist revealed that Reporters Without Borders awarded him a Scholarship to study in Germany as a means to escape from a possible arrest or death like Martinez Zogo.
