The news has sent shock waves around the social media planet since July 18th morning. Former Army Captain and now pastor Michel Julio Effa Effa has been arrested and taken to the judicial police for alleged theft and torture.

Hours during which the assailants went as far as using a hot iron on his body to get him to give them more money and other valuables.
After their attack, the gang exited the compound and Sylvain was evacuated to Europe for proper medical care. On June 26th, just a few weeks after the robbery, a man was arrested in relation to the attack and this arrest led authorities to their most recent catch.
