Contrary to the rumours that Mancho Bibixy was being subjected to very cruel treatment by security forces at SED (Secrétariat d'Etat à la Défense), the photo that has since gone viral on social media shows Mancho beaming with smiles near Minister Momo.  The photo was taken over the weekend.

Mancho Bibixy is one of no fewer than 177 detainees exfiltrated from the Kondengui Central Prison and taken into custody at the police and gendarmerie as part of judicial inquiry into the protests that rocked the detention facility last July 22, 2019.

A trusted source says that Mancho is doing okay and has been cleared after it was proven that he, along with some others, did their best to calm the situation at the Kondengui Central Prison.

Cameroon-info.net recalls that on Monday, some detainees at the Kondengui Central Prison went amok supposedly over claims of poor detention conditions and lengthy pre-trial detentions.  

The protests turned violent with the burning of some installations at the detention facility. Two detainees were wounded by their peers. 177 persons believed to have spearheaded the mutiny are said to be detained at the gendarmerie and police where investigations are ongoing. 

In Buea, Tuesday's riot led to the burning of the library, food stores and reserves and the office of discipline. Two security forces were wounded while 43 detainees were injured.

At least 20 inmates are now in the custody of the judicial police in Buea as investigations heat up.

Government spokesman Rene Emmanuel Sadi said the genuine grievances of detained compatriots will be given due consideration.

He said the justice system "is working in all sovereignty but in a progressive manner to hear and determine the cases of these protesting detainees in all objectivity and fairness in compliance with the procedures in force."

Sadi said "in any event and beyond their insurgency, the government remains attentive to the appeals of these detained compatriots. The government will continue to work within the scope of its responsibilities to ensure that the procedures in progress are carried out in due diligence and that the independence of the judiciary is strictly respected."

Despite government’s announcement that no life was lost in both prison riots, separatists remain bent that government has something she is hiding.
