The news of the detention of Patrick Asanga fondly called Paddy Asanga broke out Wednesday afternoon. Sources say, Mr Asanga had gone to visit Detainees at the Kondegui Maximum Security prison when he was caught filming the location with a Camera, this against the prison rules.

Paddy Asanga had been invited from Germany where he lives to Yaoundé’s Major National Dialogue that held from September 31st to October 4th, 2019. Some Activists were shocked however to see the diehard supporter of the Ambazonian Republic to have landed in Yaoundé after his viral video of setting ablaze the Cameroonian Nation Flag, a crime punishable in Cameroon.

There are high hopes that Paddy will be released soonest for being patriotic and coming back home to Dialogue on the long year’s crisis affecting the Anglophone regions. He was highly instrumental in the Commission that sorted to redress the form of state in Cameroon.

The Dialogue Spokesman, George Ewane had earlier announced that all activists invited from the Diaspora for the exercise are immune to Arrest within Cameroon. However, others who were invited like Mark Bareta and Tapang Ivo already had their case files opened in the Yaoundé military court same moment of the Dialogue.

Ambazonian Rebel spokesman, Tapang Ivo Tanku has reacted in what many say is conspiracy to drown the man Paddy Asanga for attending the Dialogue they had denied.

He writes;
“It is very unfortunate that our spy and informant Paddy Assanga (Patrick Assanga) has been arrested and detained in the Kondengui Maximum Security Prison while on a covert mission for Ambazonia in Kondengui.
We hired him to secretly take photos in Kondengui so that we could spy on security cleavages and other avenues for an escape plan. Paddy Assanga did just that but was unfortunately caught. It is regrettable.
Although he remains in detention indefinitely, we are requesting his equipment to be returned to us, Ambazonians in the diaspora. He has always been very collaborative in sharing with us details and insider images and recordings of planned terrorists’ activities.
Cameroun could keep him there for live. But let his equipment and memory cards be released to us immediately. We have been waiting for these images to show to the Human Rights Watch and other security channels.
Ambazonia Intelligence Service”.

At the time of this publication, it’s not clear yet how long the vibrant but repentant Ambazonian activist will be behind Bars before regaining his freedom
