Cameroon Bar wants autopsy conducted on remains of Kamto’s lawyer.

Cameroon Bar wants autopsy conducted on remains of Kamto’s lawyer.

The Cameroon Bar Association has demanded an autopsy to be conducted on the remains of late Barrister Sylvain Souop, lead lawyer of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement party.

In a letter addressed to the General Prosecutor on behalf of the Cameroon Bar Association, the Bar President, Barrister Charles Tchakounte Patie, sued X over the “unexpected” death of their colleague, Bar. Sylvain Souop.

In the same vein, the Batonnier demanded that an autopsy be conducted on the remains of their colleague for responsibilities to be established over his death.

Barrister Sylvain Souop died in a hospital in Yaounde on January 16 under unclear circumstances after it seemed he was not in any form of danger after sustaining a fracture on his arm following a road accident the previous week in the West region of Cameroon.

Some reports have indicated Barrister Souop died because of a lack of anaesthesia in the hospital while some supporters of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement party suspect ‘foul play’ in his death.

In the meantime, the Minister of Public Health, the National Order of Doctors and lawyers of the CRM party have all called for investigations to be opened to elucidate his death.

This has forced the Minister of Public Health, Dr Manaouda Malachie to order proper investigations to determine the cause of his death.

“Following the death of Me Souop Sylvain at CURY, on 01/16/2020, I have just instructed an administrative investigation at the same time as I seized the National Order of Doctors, to find out the exact circumstances of this important loss . Sincere condolences to his family,” the Minister of Public Health tweeted.

The National Order of Doctors in Cameroon equally released a statement at the weekend saying investigations have been opened to determine the cause of Barrister Souop’s death.

Lawyers of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement have equally called for investigations to be opened and punish those responsible for their peer’s death.
