The perpetrator is said to be 19-year-old Audrey, the adopted son of the victim’s family. According to the testimony of our colleague Le Jour, the man named Audrey was already an integral part of his foster family and was considered to be the victim’s older brother.
On Friday January 3, 2020, little Djamila got missing. After several hours of unsuccessful search, concern overwhelms his mother who decides to alert the police.
Each time she attempted, Audrey will interrupt. Ramatou who happens to be victim’s mother said:
He prevented me from going to the police and always directed me towards the family trail because he claimed that the child could go to visit a family member”
It was at nightfall that the first tracks began to be clarified
“It was the residents of the neighborhood who reassured me that they saw Audrey with Djamila in the afternoon. When I questioned him, he never ceased to proclaim his innocence while reassuring me that Djamila is his little sister and could not blame him badly “
relates Ramatou. The victim’s family finally got to the police.
The young Audrey has bee. arrested, his exploitation leads the investigators on the traces of his accomplices including three alleged traffickers who were immediately arrested.
We found my daughter’s body with her head open, her mouth was stuffed with herbs and her underwear , the sex was swollen and she was bleeding which led to believe that she was raped by her torturers
Explains Ramatou
According to the first elements of the investigation, the assassination of little Djamila obeyed an order for a sum of 800,000 FCFA. And they had received 20,000 FCFA as an advance to be used to convince Audrey to deliver the victim to them. They were to deliver the genitals and parts of her body to the alleged sponsors for rites. Audrey and his three accomplices meditate on their spells in a cell at the Abong Mbang public security station until they are presented to the public prosecutor so that they can answer for their actions.
For the moment, investigations are continuing. They will undoubtedly allow the entire network to be dismantled. “Rape and the assassination of Djamila are not isolated because in 2019, the rape of an underage girl of 8 years old by the cook of expatriate loggers was recorded in Abong Mbang, identical scenario in 2017 with several cases of ‘sexual abuse of minors that have been reported,’ recalls our colleague.
