Cameroon – Zogo Trial: The Reports Accusing Ngoh Ngoh

On January 30, 2023, Léopold Maxime Eko Eko delivered an eleven-page report to Paul Biya describing Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh as the “godfather” of an alleged plot to destabilize the government. Less than 24 hours later, Eko Eko was arrested in the investigation into Martinez Zogo’s murder. Three years later, before the Yaoundé military court, the former intelligence chief says his arrest was no coincidence. The trial is portrayed as the stage for a rivalry between Eko Eko and Ngoh Ngoh over influence with the president and control of Cameroon’s security apparatus.
