A traditional chief in Cameroon, Charly Constant Noussi Pokam of the Baloum group, is being nationally sought by police and the gendarmerie following allegations of ordering the murder of two individuals. A warrant for his arrest was issued on June 15, 2026, after the deaths that occurred on June 5, 2026, within his jurisdiction. One of the victims, Stève Achille Diffo, was allegedly killed after being accused of theft, subjected to violence, and then publicly executed and burned. Authorities initiated an investigation following the emergence of a disturbing video circulating online documenting the events. The case has sparked public concern regarding potential impunity for powerful figures, but officials have emphasized their commitment to upholding the rule of law. The chief and any accomplices will be brought before the West Legion Gendarmerie headquarters for questioning and prosecution.
