It is a clash of heavyweights which has come from unexpected actors as chief justice and fierce critic of the government justice Ayah Paul Abine and university of Buea professor Ernest Molua battle it out on social media.
The entrepreneurial professor who has been controversial in much respect drew the ire of many today 12th November 2018 when he allegedly refers to Equinoxe journalists and blogger as a “prostitute”
Without mentioning her by name, the Biya loyalist wrote on his Facebook timeline that The President is smart, because he can’t bring down an empire because of a prostitute, an apparent reference to the release of the journalist, whose arrest last week sparked national and international outcry, pressuring the government to release her
“Popol is smart! Can’t bring down an empire because of a prostitute! All shall be managed accordingly! Wisdom!” he wrote of his Facebook wall today November 12th 2018
In a fierce and overwhelming response to Molua’s comment, justice Ayah Paul took aimed at the university professor for his comments which he says is a “libel” before calling him a “sycophant”.
He writes “When Mimi Mefo was released on Saturday, November 10, 2018, most rational persons thirsty for justice heaved a sigh of relief. Even some of the most hysterical, bigoted CPDM hardliners east of the Munog began to tone down their clamouring for the crucifixion of the presumption of innocence.

Justice Ayah Paul Abine |
A UNIVERSITY TEACHER?
SO TERRIBLY NAUSEATING!!!
But Facebook, (allegedly compromised by Cameroon), in their selective enforcement of ‘community standards’, found nothing wrong with the LIBEL! What is more, this libel is not an isolated case.As a matter of fact, this so-called teacher at the University of Buea, (a sycophant in fact), has, for quite some time now, been in the sustained flattery of the President of the Republic, and in the scathing disparagement of innocent citizens in a bid to curry Mr. President’s favours.
Naturally characteristically! A pig hates nothing more than a clean environment! But then; what an image for our institutions of higher learning before the rest of the academic world!!!”
It is not the first time the academic don is swallowed in controversy. On May 20th 2018 when Re Fr Alexander Sob was brutally killed by unknown gunmen in his native town of Muyuka, the professor accused the church without evidence for killing one of their own
He claimed that Sob was killed because he was Bassa and said before his untimely demise, he had been ostracized by the church because he supported back to school against the wish of church authorities in diocese of Buea when he was then Catholic Education secretary, a claim the church had strongly deny.
