Cameroon: Georges Baongla, who claims to be Paul Biya's son, contests Franck Biya's parentage – La Nouvelle Tribune

On April 23, 2026, Georges Gilbert Baongla, president of the Republican Party, was summoned by the Central Judicial Research Service of Cameroon as part of an investigation into cybercrime and defamation. He contests the parentage of Franck Emmanuel Biya, son of President Paul Biya, and did not attend the hearing scheduled for April 28, citing a business trip. His lawyers are requesting a postponement of the hearing and DNA tests to establish the parentage between Baongla, Paul Biya, and Franck Biya.
