Cameroonian journalist Polycarpe Essomba alleges a near-catastrophic institutional failure occurred last week at the Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV). According to Essomba’s account, shared on social media, a significant technical issue almost completely disrupted the national broadcaster’s operations. He describes the situation as bordering on the “grotesque,” implying a serious breakdown in systems or protocols. While details remain limited, Essomba suggests quick thinking prevented a major crisis. The incident raises questions about the stability and resilience of CRTV’s infrastructure. Further investigation is needed to verify the claims and assess the extent of the potential disruption. No official statement from CRTV has yet been released regarding the alleged incident.
