Cameroon – Insolvency: Court Evicts Tal Hotel in Bafoussam

Basile Talla Demgueu, promoter of Tal Hotel in Bafoussam, owes more than 500 million CFA francs to Afriland First Bank and has also accumulated hundreds of millions of francs in unpaid rent to the Moyo and Wanko families, owners of the two sites occupied by the hotel. On Monday, October 19, 2026, employees were still at the hotel, where the atmosphere was calm. Verdier Fokou, identified as its director, was absent from his office and was reportedly said to have resigned a few weeks earlier. The headline says the court ordered the establishment evicted over insolvency.
