Father Ludovic Lado to the late Clément Atangana: "After all the harm done to Cameroon... your fate is now in God's hands" - Lebledparle

A few hours after the death of Clément Atangana on October 4, 2026, at the American Hospital in Paris, Jesuit Father Ludovic Lado posted a critical message on social media, stating that his fate now depends on God's mercy. Clément Atangana, aged 85, died in France after a long career as a magistrate, notably leading the Constitutional Council from 2018, where he was involved in controversies surrounding the 2018 presidential election and the 2025 re-election of Paul Biya. His death has elicited mixed reactions, with some political figures paying tribute and others viewing him as a symbol of institutional functioning under Biya's long rule.
