(Business in Cameroon) - Using a message from the Central African Minister of Justice dated 3 February 2016, Total Centrafrique "hastily returned" to the "les Martyrs" service station in Bangui, the Central African capital, breaking the seals affixed the previous day by Brice Martial Baidou, a bailiff.

Indeed, we officially learned, the subsidiary of the French oil group has been evicted 24 hours before from this oil products distribution space by the above mentioned bailiff who was carrying out a court order issued on 23 December 2015 by the Appeals Court of the Central African Republic, acknowledging the Cameroonian company Tradex as "operator" of said station.

While "resolutely denouncing these outdated methods", the Central African subsidiary of Tradex, in a communiqué published on 8 February 2016, "appealed to the national and international public opinion to bear witness to this intrusion which is meant to disturb and prevent a binding, irrevocable judicial decision from being carried out".

As a reminder, Tradex, the standard bearer of national investors in the distribution of oil products in Cameroon, since its entry on the market a few years ago, currently manages a network of 78 service stations, including 20 in the Central African Republic and two in Chad.
