A fire incident on the 7th of August 2019 left several quarters without electricity.

4 The Equatorial Guinean minister of external relations has stated that there is a lot of misinformation regarding the construction of a wall along the country’s borders with Cameroon. The minister was granted audience by the Cameroon Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute. The Equatorial Guinean special envoy handed to the Prime Minister, a sealed message for President Paul Biya. He failed to mention the motivation behind the construction of the wall at a time when there are talks of free movement of persons within the Central African sub region.

5 The issue of school resumption has been called in to question in Jakiri, Bui Division in the North West Region of Cameroon. Today, the population virtually boycotted the visit of the Senior Divisional officer of Bui Division. Simon Emile Mooh called on the few parents to ensure that kids return to school in September.

7 Professor Jacques Fame Ndongo has called on graduates of ENS to be ready to serve Cameroonians in any part of the country following their postings. He made the call as one thousand and eighty students of the Higher Teachers’ Training Institution (ENS) Yaoundé received their end of course diplomas today.

8 The search for about twenty foreigners kidnapped at the estuary to the Douala seaport continues. Elements of the marine and those of the rapid intervention battalion (BIR) are searching for the Kidnappers as well as the missing persons. Kidnappers are reported to have taken the foreigners some 50 kilometres off the coast of Douala. Seaport officials are yet, unable to determine the nationalities of those kidnapped.
