The General Delegate for National Security, Martin Mbarga Nguélé, is facing increasing public scrutiny after complaining about the poor state of roads in the South West region. Critics point out that while he focuses on charity efforts abroad, the national security infrastructure he oversees is “decaying” across the country.

Concerns Over Police Conduct in Anglophone Regions

In the Anglophone regions, which are currently suffering from an armed conflict, Nguélé has yet to take public action regarding documented police atrocities. This lack of response raises serious questions about his motives in highlighting the poor road conditions during an official visit to the South West.

Social media has recently surfaced with footage depicting shocking incidents of alleged police brutality. These videos, primarily recorded during security operations in the North West and South West regions, showcase police officers physically assaulting civilians, using excessive force during arrests, and, in some instances, demanding money in exchange for leniency. Such incidents have ignited widespread public outcry, with many citizens calling for greater accountability from the government. Despite the rising concern, Nguélé has not issued a public statement condemning these actions or announcing investigations.

Pervasive Extortion and Corruption

Adding to the public frustration is the rampant extortion occurring at police checkpoints across the country. Numerous complaints detail instances where officers demand bribes from drivers, particularly on busy routes in major cities and between regions. These practices have compounded the economic hardships faced by residents, with drivers and business owners decrying what they describe as “an institutionalized system of exploitation.” This endemic corruption poses a significant barrier to the trust that citizens seek to place in law enforcement.

Long Delays in Issuance of National IDs

The ongoing delays in issuing original identification cards further exacerbate the situation. Many Cameroonians report waiting months or even years to receive their national ID cards, which leaves them vulnerable to fines, delays, and harassment at checkpoints. This issue has fueled growing dissatisfaction with the country’s national security administration.

Acknowledgment of Misconduct Allegations

In light of these concerns, Martin Mbarga Nguélé has pledged to investigate the allegations of misconduct within the police force. However, critics argue that before addressing the state of the roads, the police chief should prioritise rectifying the lack of professionalism within his own ranks. His remarks regarding infrastructure improvements are seen as an eye-opener but insufficient in the face of pressing internal issues.
