Bishop Michael Bibi, the Bishop of Buea has condemned both the shooting death of a young girl and the lynching death of the officer responsible. Enondiale Tcheuengia Carolaise, who was about five years old, was shot to death when the driver of her car on the way to school refused to stop at the police checkpoint.
“I join my voice to so many others in condemning the horrific shooting at a car that led to the death of an innocent child simply because the driver did not comply with security checks. I equally condemn the killing of the gendarme officer who committed the act by the mob, because no one has the right to take away human life,” Bishop Michael said. After the incident the crowd came to the site and captured the gendarme officer and beat him to death. The bishop hoped and prayed to sustain justice, peace and solidarity in the country.
