A communiqué was issued by the Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma, this Friday night, on CRTV. Here is the content:
"The Minister of Communication informs the public that following the publication of a video stating unacceptable abuses perpetrated by armed men against women and children, the HEAD OF STATE has Ordered the opening of an investigation to clarify this case and to establish the possible responsibilities.
The investigation led to the arrest of the following military personnel:
Lieutenant (N) FOBASSOU Etienne;
Sergeant BITYALA Cyriaque Hilaire
Corporal GODWE MANA Didier Jeannot
Corporal Tsanga
Private Sergeant DONOSSOU Barnabas
Private SECOND MANASSE Jacobai Jonathan
Private First Class NTIECHE FEWOU Ghisiain
The persons concerned have been put at the disposal of the courts and will be subject to a fair trial. It goes without saying that they have until now enjoyed the presumption of innocence.
The Minister of Communication removes the determination of the HEAD OF STATE to ensure that the abuses that may be perpetrated by some lost soldiers, are systematically investigated and result in appropriate sanctions if necessary.
It renews to the Defense and Security Forces the confidence, support and appreciation of the HEAD OF STATE and the entire nation for the bravery, professionalism and determination with which they fight against terrorists and other criminal groups , in order to defend the territorial integrity, peace and stability of our country as well as the security of citizens and their property.
