Investigations launched into the presidential car tire burst

Investigations have already started by various relevant bodies in the case of the presidential tire burst incident that nearly caused the life of President Paul Biya and his wife, Madam Chantal Biya, according to La Nouvelle Expression newspaper publication on Wednesday, July 15, 2015.

A similar incident occurred ten years ago with the entourage of the head of state when a new Presidential aircraft called Albatros, which transported the president from Cameroon to abroad, had almost crash.

Speaking on the issue, a source who was part of the people responsible for safety on the way, said: "From the beginning, we did think of a puncture. This is because it was unthinkable for a luxury and armored car in addition to have a puncture. Also for a procession that does not particularly move fast, it is very surprising. "

The newspaper stressed that the investigation is to understand how such an incident could have occurred with a presidential Mercedes Maybach range 5600.

These investigations would be directed at the maintenance services and serious penalties should be expected which this suggests a new Albatros case which will not be taken lightly.
