Mancho Bibixy, Ngalim Felix, Tsi Conrad, Thomas Awah Junior (journalist who is unwell) and a host of others including some CRM militants were being grilled on the July 22, 2019 protest in prison. They were accused of burning prison structures, attempting to escape jail, attacking former regime barons like Ephraim Inoni, Olanguena Owona amongst others.
