Relatives told the press that Aishatou arrived in Yaoundé on Monday, February 27 at about 10:00 PM via the Tourist Travel agency.

“While in Yaoundé, the she called her husband to inform him that she had taken a taxi that was supposed to drop her off and the kids at the Mvog-Mbi crossroads, where her husband stood to wait for their arrival to no avail,” recounted a source.

Her husband named Dahirou is said to have waited for her for several hours, reached out to her on phone and she was unavailable.

“While the family embarked on a search for the lady, the victim’s mother revealed that she received a call from her daughter this Tuesday at 4 p.m,” a source said.

“The daughter told her that she was in the taxi with her two children, on their way Mvog-Mbi, when suddenly, one of the passengers on board the taxi brought out a liquid substance and blew it on her face and the kids'”

But family members of Aishatou Yasmine have remained frustrated as they have not heard from her since then.
