(Business in Cameroon) - It’s an unprecedented situation in Cameroon. Many prominent people have been banned from leaving the country.

Indeed, in a statement signed on March 19 by the chief superintendent Jean Marie Ndie Ngah, it is revealed that upon instructions from the delegate general for national security Martin Mbarga Nguele, the chancellor of Yaoundé II University, Adolphe Minkoa She is banned from leaving Cameroon.

The same statement reveals that Jean Jacques Ndoudoumou, the former General Director of the Regulatory Board for Public Procurement, Lazare Atou (the renowned owner of an audit cabinet in Yaoundé) and Louis Max Ayina Ohandja, a former secretary of state at the ministry of public works and transport, have also been asked not to leave Cameroon.

The list goes on to mention Magloire Ondoa, dean of the faculty of political and juridical science of Yaoundé II university, Jean Calvin Aba’a Oyono (former president of the mediation boards commission ‘CPMC’) and  Edmond Mballa Elanga (the current president of  CPMC).

Let’s note that this is the third round of personalities asked not to leave Cameroon because of legal problems. Indeed, on March 2, 2018, David Nkotto Emane and Richard Maga, respectively managing director and deputy managing director of CAMTEL, as well as 6 of their collaborators were also asked not to travel out of the country. Some days earlier (February 7), Basile Atangana Kouna also fell under this prohibition.
