This is what the Governor had to say: “I want to attract the particular attention of media people, because they are accountable to the nation and the world, because we have social networks where everyone behind a profile can say anything.

“You came to see for yourself, so go show what you saw to Cameroonians, if that’s good, but if that’s what our eyes saw! It’s terrible, you’re destroying a hospital? “ Bernard Okalia Bilai.

Four people died by fire in their hospital rooms and 7 vehicles were set ablaze.
