Four Former University Staff Accused of Embezzlement,On The Run

              

Between 2001 and 2005, FCFA 1.6 billion was siphoned from the coffers of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Yaounde 1. 

The three accused of this criminal act were supposed to appear before the Special Criminal Court in Yaounde, yesterday Thursday July 22, 2015 for a hearing.

However, the defence bench was empty because, none of the accused showed up.

Lol. 

They are reported to be on the run.

See what Cameroon Tribune wrote about it.

Mokeba Sone Victor, Ngambong Abonqwa Judith and Etaga Ntoh Mercy eps Dokia are accused of embezzling FCFA 1,600,000,000 belonging to the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences University of Yaounde 1 between 2001 and 2005 according to the Committal Order of the Examining Magistrate’s Chambers. It all started with the signing of a protocol agreement between the government of Cameroon represented by the Ministry of Planning and Regional Development, the Faculty of Medicine and Biological Sciences and the European Union Commission, Cameroon. The sum of FCFA 1 billion was allocated as financial assistance to the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences for the training of 250 laboratory technicians in the domain of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The project was called FMSB/EU-AIDS and was placed under the control of the then Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Late Professor Peter Ndumbe. Professor Peter Ndumbe, it is alleged, opened several accounts in different banks notably National Financial Credit Bank, Union Bank of Cameroon, to name but these and the money was withdrawn in complicity with the others. Professor Ndumbe however is dead and so judicial pursuits against him have been dropped.
Meanwhile, the other three are on the run and judicial pursuits against them are still going on. Advocate General, Didier Edjisna, pleaded with the court to grant some time for the prosecution to bring all the parties concerned to court. The presiding judge adjourned the case to August 11, 2015 pending the demand of the prosecution.
