Rumours of Biya's mother-in-law's death dismissed

Cameroon government sources have dismissed as rumour news that Rossette Mboutchouang (60) mother-in-law of President Biya and Municipal Administrator of Bangou Rural Council has died in South Africa.


Information circulated that Rossette Mboutchouang, whose daughter Chantal Biya got married to the Head of State had passed on in a Johannesburg hospital. A highly placed political figure deep within the ruling CPDM party who spoke to Cameroon Concord last night when the rumour breakout, noted that Cameroon is fast becoming a paradise of fake news.


In 2004, false information went out that President Biya had died in a Swiss hospital situated at the outskirts of Bern city. The CPDM National Chairman returned to the nation’s capital and told his detractors to wait for another 20 years. Some few years ago, rumour came out that first lady Chantal Biya had escaped from Cameroon and took up residence in France.


She made her greatest come back and silenced her so called CPDM enemies. On October 2013, Minister Martin Belinga Eboutou, Director of the Civil Cabinet at the Presidency was declared dead in what a government spokesman described as a campaign of blackmail against the ruling establishment.


Just two weeks ago information filtered on the streets of Yaounde that former Prime Minister Chief Ephraim Inoni had been killed at the Kondengui prison by President Biya’s special forces.


This was preceded with that of former Cameroon National football team captain Rigobert Song. At the time of writing this report, Cameroon Concord’s Sama Ernest reported to our editorial desk from Yaounde that female singer Lady Ponce earlier sabotaged with information that she was trading in human organs is now making headlines following rumour that she traveled to Cameroon infected by the Ebola virus.
