Johann Adriel Sitchom Kuate is currently detained in Kondengui prison in Yaoundé, Cameroon, after attempting to disseminate forged presidential decrees. On June 12, 2026, Kuate entered the national broadcaster, CRTV, with documents purporting to announce a new vice-president and government. CRTV officials, suspecting the documents were fraudulent, verified with the President’s office, confirming they were false. Kuate is being prosecuted for “attempting to undermine state security with complicity from foreign powers.” The incident occurred while the President was traveling in Europe, amidst public anticipation for government and vice-presidential appointments following a constitutional revision. Authorities believe Kuate’s actions could have triggered a significant institutional crisis within the country. The investigation is ongoing, with initial inquiries conducted by the State Secretariat to Defense.
