Tragedy Strikes Bali Again

After Numvi Celestin, armed men kill his elder brother, Gamua Derick.

Family members and friends of Numvi Celestin were still to get over his sudden death and collect his corpse for burial when another tragedy struck.

One of the elder brothers of Celestine Numvi, Gamua Derick, was beaten to death by armed men and dumped at Ntanfoang in Bali Subdivision, North West Region of Cameroon.

It remains unclear why Gamua was killed but a source close to the family told Mimi Mefo Info that he was accused of conniving with local authorities in Bali. We are still to verify this info that has plunged the family in despair in just one week.

Gamua Derick commonly called Mayang, 40, was the eldest in the family of 5. His comes just a week after Numvi Celestin was brutalised, taken from Bali, reportedly shot and abandoned in Bafut by the military.

The crime of Numvi Celestin, who was teacher in a local private primary school in Bali, is that he was passing by and saw a military truck with injured soldiers from Batibo who stopped by for treatment in Njenka.

“We have not found his body…but We have not stopped searching. We have verified the corpse in Bafut and it was not Numvi’s body. We continued to search elsewhere but we have not found it” a family source told Mimi Mefo Info.

Manyang will be laid to rest this Saturday.
