Breaking: Moja Moja sacked from Rapid Intervention Battalion

Chief Ewome Eko John, popularly known as Moja Moja, an officer of Cameroon’s Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR), has been sacked from the specialised force and reassigned to the infantry.

The decision, announced in a release by Colonel Pelene François, the General Coordinator of the BIR, cited reasons of indiscipline and absenteeism for Moja Moja’s removal from the elite corps.

Despite his dismissal from the BIR, Moja Moja retains his position as a soldier within the Cameroon Military.

Known for his dual role as both a soldier and the Chief of Bwasa village in the South West Region, Moja Moja’s actions have often stirred controversy, particularly during the ongoing armed conflict in the North West and South West Regions.

Moja Moja’s actions, captured in viral videos showing him allegedly torturing civilians labeled as “terrorists,” have fueled public outcry and raised questions about his alignment with the values of the nation.

Critics have long called for action against Moja Moja, accusing him of promoting division and hate speech, particularly targeting Anglophones from the North West Region.

Despite his reassignment to the infantry, Moja Moja’s military status remains unchanged.

Sergeant Ewome Eko John, alias Moja Moja, was sacked from the Specialised Force along with Sergeant Ewondo Noa Pierre Macaire.

While his dismissal from the elite force marks a significant shift, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact both Moja Moja’s future actions and the ongoing discourse surrounding his controversial actions within Cameroon’s military.
