When contacted by a local news outlet Cameroon-Info.net, a source at the Ministry of Defense did not wish to comment on the issue. "You have to be careful and wait for confirmation from the government, because with Social media, the documents circulating are not authentic at all." The source said.

On his part, Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary, qualifies the information as rumours, but say he is awaiting confirmation. "The Minister of Communication mouthpiece of the government does not relay information based on rumour.

When I will have the elements of the appropriate language worthy to be brought to your knowledge, I will call you for it. It is when I will have facts worthy of local and international interest, that I will call and make them available to you. Be patient and wait. I don't relay rumour or emotions regardless of whatever the nature is. I am also waiting for the facts; that is, the elements confirming or attesting their arrest." Minister Chiroma said.
