“The police were on patrol around the area. They entered my place and asked for the authorisation documents and I said it was an issue that is supposed to be handled by the Delegation of Public Health. They asked me to enter their car, on our way, they returned and carried my equipment to the judicial police,” he narrated to The Post.

The Bio-Chem student, whose clinic’s documents are still in Yaoundé, revealed that he was released thanks to the Deputy State Counsel. According to him, his wife reported the matter to the State Counsel that ordered for his discharge, though the police refused returning his medical tools.
