The 45-year-old man accused of rape, kidnapping, sodomy, and armed threats was arrested on Tuesday night by the Bonanjo Judicial Police in Douala. At the time of his arrest, the businessman was found in a motel in the city of Douala, according to our sources.
Herve Bopda was also with a young girl who was also brought in by the police.
On Friday, January 26, the gendarmes raided one of his apartments located in Bonapriso near Shell Newbell. They arrived at around 12:30 pm and learned from the security guard that he had left the premises at 11 am. This raised questions about a possible disclosure of confidential information and the possibility of him wanting to leave the country.
Herve Bopda is facing a series of accusations of sexual assaults on thousands of people. Several investigations have been opened by the gendarmerie, the police, and the military court against this son of the late Africa Construction promoter.
But our sources indicate that his arrest follows a complaint filed by Me Fousse, Me Guy Olivier Moteng at the military court of Douala and then passed on to the Judicial Police of Douala for “fraud, sexual harassment, and threat with a firearm.” Another complaint had been filed by the Human Rights Commission of the Cameroonian Bar Association.
On social media, several damning testimonies have been made by anonymous individuals. A wealthy and very brutal man, Herve Bopda would attract girls with either money or force. He presented himself as a colonel in the army to some and was always accompanied by a bodyguard who, according to some testimonies, would forcibly load the girls into his vehicle. He is also accused of sodomizing several young boys, including Shakiro.
