While the fact-finding
team put in place by the judiciary to investigate the mysterious departure of
the Bishop of Bafia, His Lordship Jean Marie Benoit BALA, is yet to come out
with its report,The Episcopal Conference of Cameroon has rushed to declare that
the late Prelate of Bafia Diocese did not commit suicide but was brutally
assassinated.
The declaration was made at a Press
Conference organised by the Episcopal conference of Cameron at their
headquarters in Mvolye, Yaounde on the 14th June 2017 at the end of
an emergency plenary session.
In a declaration signed by Mgr Samuel Kleda,
president of the NECC, the happenings observed from 31st May 2017
when the Bishop’s car was found poorly parked on the bridge over river Sanaga
at Ebebda, till the recovery of his corpse two days after are recounted.
Memories of the unexplained deaths of His
Grace, Yves Plumey Archbishop of Ngoundere in 1991; Rev Father Joseph MBASSI,
in Yaounde in 1988; Rev Father Anthony FONTEGH, in Kumbo Diocese in 1990; the
Rev. Sisters in Djoum in 1992; Father Engelbert MVENG, in Yaounde in 1995 and
many others were enough for the Episcopal conference to think that the clergy
in Cameroon are under attack by obscure
and devilish forces.
Kleda wished better
results would be obtained from the ongoing investigations. He however said that
if at any point in time they are not convinced with the results obtained on
what or who killed His Lord Ship Jean Benoit, they would take alternative
measures to get pure results.
The Episcopal Conference, however, prayed for
the conversion of murderers. It urged press men and women to be responsible in
circulating information, and thanked those who contributed in the search of the
lifeless body of the prelate.
Kleda called on the
Christian faithful to go by the Gospel of John in Chapter 16:13 which reads:
“Be Courageous; Christ has conquered the world”.
