While some sources suggest Bafoussam or Mbalmayo, the exact details remain elusive to the public. However reports holds that he is in custody facing questionings in the company of Barrister Charles Tchoungang.
Bruno Bidjang’s alleged involvement in the Martinez Zogo affair, led to his recent summons by the new investigating judge of the Yaoundé military court. But the recent arrest is linked with several of his outings on the Social media, where he is accused of asking the people of Cameroon to protest last of electricity and other amenities.
