Kumbo: Gendarme killed by Separatist under detention

A member of the National Gendarmerie lost his life after he was shot with his own gun by a detained Separatist fighter, now on the run.

Vernyuy Melice surrendered to government forces in early 2023 and would later act as a spy against his former comrades.

But on September 15, 2023, while in detention at the Kumbo brigade, he seized the gun of a Ndoke, a Gendarme who was shot at close range, before escaping.
