Mancho Bibixy and six other anglophone activists now await their sentence after the Yaounde military court found them guilty of several charges that were levelled against them.
In a marathon court session that ran into the late hours of the night, the presiding magistrate at the Yaounde military court Mbezoa Abega Eko Eko found seven of the eight anglophone activists guilty of a number of charges that were hanging over their heads.
After pronouncing the verdicts, the prosecuting magistrate Engono Thadée then took the floor to plead with the presiding magistrate to slam a heavy sentence on those found guilty but stressed the sentence has to be didactic and aimed at discouraging others who might want to engage in similar acts.
The civil party on its part requested damages from the accused worth over 350 million francs cfa for their actions which have severely caused sufferings to the masses in the two regions.
Damages which the defense counsel staunchly opposed before praying the prosecuting magistrate to adjourn the case much to the dislike of the civil party.
After arguments and counter arguments, the case was finally postponed to the 8 May 2018. On thhis date, the court will also hear the case between the State against Ade Keneth Chi, Anyangwei Lelly Anyangwei and Fonyuy Terence after it was earlier adjourned in the afternoon for a lack of assessors.
