Catholic Church bans Requiem Mass for Belinga Eboutou!
The Yaounde Ecclesiastical Province has issued a ban on the requiem mass scheduled for the funeral of the late Director of Civil Cabinet, Martin Belinga Eboutou at the Mvolye Minor Basilica in Yaounde, in keeping with his last wish.
Martin Belinga Eboutou was the Director of the Civil Cabinet at the Presidency of Cameroon from 2009 to March 2018 and was Cameroon’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations from March 1998 to December 2007. He died in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 8, 2019 at 79.
Belinga Eboutou has been consistently linked to the death of Bishop Jean Marie Benoit Bala of Bafia. The prelate died under suspicious circumstances two years ago. The Bishop disappeared from his residence on May 30, 2017, and when his vehicle was found, a note said to have been written by him was discovered saying ; 'I am in the water.' His body was found floating on the river Sanaga by a Malian fisherman near Monatele on June 2, miles away from the bridge. Though authorities conducted an autopsy, the results were never released.
However, a forensic diagnosis commissioned by INTERPOL, the international police service, concluded that 'no trace of violence' was discovered, and the Bishop drowned. The declaration didn’t go down well with Cameroonian bishops who insisted that they had evidence their colleague was 'brutally assassinated.' In a Mass marking the anniversary of the Bishop’s death, Archbishop Samuel Kleda of Douala, the then President of Cameroon’s Bishops’ Conference reiterated Bishop Bala was murdered.
