From Mua Patrick Mughe in Buea
The former CPDM MP for
Akwaya who ran for the 2011
presidential election under the platform of People’s Action Party,PAP, and
emerged in the sixth position was last Tuesday, October 22, between 2 and
3 am attacked by unidentified armed men at his had Buea residence.
According to the
RecorderNewsline, the hoodlums who were trying to break into the residence
through the main gate only escaped in their vehicle when they heard the sound
of another vehicle, carrying PAP members whom Hon. Ayah had alerted about the
attack. Armed policemen in two police vehicles, The Guardian Post gathered,
also arrived at Ayah’s residence, 30 minutes after the attackers had escaped.
It is not clear whether
it was a gang of assassins or burglars especially as Hon. Ayah had before
complained about anonymous threats on his life.
Critics of Cameroon’s political scene have quickly dismissed the claim
that the attackers came for money, arguing that it is public knowledge
(both nationally and internationally) that Hon. Ayah has gone for the past one
year without a salary even as he is yet to go on retirement in two year’s time.
Besides being
widely-rumoured to becoming the next SCNC national chairman, Hon. Ayah is a
well-known iconic critic of the Biya regime.
