Lawyers defending Ayah Paul Abine, one of the Advocates General of the Supreme Court of Cameroon, have filed a Habeas Corpus, requesting the President of Mfoundi High Court in Yaounde to free the detained Judge.

According to Barristers Ndong Christopher Nveh and Luke Mirac Chengayam, respectively representing CNN & Partners Law Firm and Kisob Law Office, Ayah’s arrest and detention are mired in a lot of irregularities. Ayah was whisked off from his Tam Tam Weekend residence in Yaounde in the evening of Saturday January 21, and detained at the Secretariat of State for Defense in charge of the National Gendarmerie (SED).
