The director of media at the L’Anecdote media group, Bruno Bidjang, has been arrested by the Police then taken to the Defense State Secretariat (SED) for interrogations on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
The circumstances surrounding Bidjang’s arrest remain unknown, with conflicting reports regarding the location of his apprehension. While some sources suggest Bafoussam or Mbalmayo, the exact details remain elusive to the public. However reports holds that he is in custody facing questionings in the company of Barrister Charles Tchoungang.
Bruno Bidjang’s alleged involvement in the Martinez Zogo affair, led to his recent summons by the new investigating judge of the Yaoundé military court. But the recent arrest is linked with several of his outings on the Social media, where he is accused of asking the people of Cameroon to protest last of electricity and other amenities.
While the case has been under investigation for almost a year, several suspects have already been
arrested and placed in detention at the Yaoundé central prison, including Jean Pierre Amougou Belinga, the CEO of L’Anecdote group, Maxime Eko Eko, the former director general of external research, Martin Savom, the mayor of Bibey, Justin Danwe, several elements of the army and police units. All are suspected of being involved in the assassination of Martinez Zogo.
His employer in a communique banned all employees from giving their personal views on societal issues on the social media. They also dissociate themselves from Bruno’s declarations.

The residents of Ganda, Kakuyuni and Marafa Wards in Kilifi County are a happy lot following the commencement of the construction of key roads aimed at spurring development in the areas.
The County Government of Kilifi is set to spend about Sh140 million to construct phase one of the Kijiwetanga-Jakaranda road in Ganda Ward (Sh40 million), phase two of the Goshi-Madunguni in Kakuyuni Ward (Sh50 million) and construct cabro roads at the Marafa Trading centre in Marafa Ward.
The County Chief Officer for Roads, Mr. Philip Charo, on Tuesday handed over the sites for the Goshi-Madunguni and Kijiwetanga-Jacaranda, roads to the contractor M/S. S Mehta and Sons Construction Company, while the Marafa Cabro road project commenced last month.
Mr Charo said the projects were being implemented in phases due to inadequate financial resources but expressed optimism that they would be completed before the next General Elections in 2027.
The Chief Officer said this in the Goshi and Kijiwetanga areas of Malindi Constituenc
y where he handed over the road construction sites to the contractor, M/S. S Mehta and Sons Construction Company.
In Goshi, Mr Charo said the Goshi-Madunguni Road would enable farmers in the agriculturally rich Madunguni area to transport their produce to markets with ease as well as make it easier for residents to access important amenities in urban centres.
He said the cabro roads at the Marafa Trading Centre would improve businesses as well as make it easy for tourists to access Hell’s Kitchen, a tourist attraction centre in Marafa Ward.
At Kijiwetanga, Mr Charo said the Kijiwetanga-Jacaranda Road would make it easier for tourists to access beach hotels in the Jacaranda area from the Malindi International Airport.
Kakuyuni Member of County Assembly Morris Dadu Hinzano thanked Governor Gideon Mung’aro for the road project in his Ward and pledged to work with him despite having been elected by different political parties.
Ganda Ward MCA Oscar Wanje thanked the County Government for the Kijiwetanga-Jacar
anda Road, which he noted would be an important shortcut for tourists travelling from the Malindi International Airport to hotels in the Jacaranda area near Watamu.
Residents of both Wards who spoke to journalists expressed their joy and thanked their leaders for working as a team despite their political differences to ensure development reaches all corners of Kilifi.
