J.P. Akono employs witch doctor to retrieve stolen 20MFCFA

By Mbom Sixtus In Yaounde

Former Indomitable Lions’ title winning coach, Jean Paul Akono who was robbed of 20 MFCFA last Saturday, has revealed that he used the services of a witch doctor to identify the prime suspect in the robbery.

He told state media that it was due to the fact that he could not comprehend how the money (30.000 Euros) was stolen from a coded briefcase which he carefully hid, that he opted for a sorcerer.
Following the story line, the former Lion’s coach had to travel to France for medical attention and to handle other personal issues. He reportedly had his bags packed and his briefcase which he filled with Euro bank notes, before keeping it in a supposed safe location. On Saturday, Akono left for the airport, got his briefcase checked alongside other luggage he was travelling with, and then boarded the plane for France. When he touched down in Versy, he still had his briefcase with him. It was only when he wanted to pay his fare to travel to Vichy by train, that he realised he had been robbed.
Confused and frustrated when he realised the coded suitcase was not broken or forced open, Akono wanted to take the next available flight to return to Cameroon, but was convinced by his elder sister to stay.
As recounted on state media by the victim, he contacted his wife back home, who visited a witchdoctor. She was told that the money was stolen by Akono’s confidant. She contacted officers of the national gendarmerie who arrested the suspect alongside three others who have been detained at the state secretariat for defence, SED since Tuesday July 15.
Quizzed on why he was travelling with 30.000 Euros in cash, the former national team coach said he was going to use it to pay for medical charges and for her daughter’s trip to Canada. He also mentioned that he is not the first person to travel with such huge sums of money.
