Speaking to the press, Lieutenant Ngrewui Adolphe, the chief of Bureau in charge of the fight against crime in the littoral region said they were “…hinted that one of them was preparing his automatic pistol for a robbery operation. We then hunted him down in a motel and brought him in for questioning…”

The lieutenant further revealed that it was in the course of interrogation that the suspect admitted to possessing human bones in his house in Douala.
