Cameroon: Man on the run after torturing 12-year-old niece to death

A 12-year-old girl has been tortured to death by her uncle in Lindoï, a town in the Centre Region of Cameroon.

The young orphan was living with her late father’s junior brother, Pagbe Emmanuel alongside his wife and children.

“He tied up the child here on a tree in the night, tortured her, heated a machete in the fire and used it on her while smoking marijuana,” a source in the area told the press.

“He punished the child between 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. The child remained tied up despite the injuries all over her body. She went on for a week without treatment,” the source said.

The Divisional Officer of Bondjock, disclosed that Pagbe Emmanuel’s wife and her two brothers who were aware of what happened, and failed to report are under investigation.

“They were aware and did not inform us. They are currently being arrested and will be brought to justice,” Tchejip Guy, the DO said.

The man in question was widely known by the locals of the area for his violent nature and non-stop consumption of Indian hemp.

He had reportedly signed a pledge, in which he told police officers that he would never lay his hands on any child. From the recent incident, the promise was never respected.
