The Archbishop of Bafia, Cameroon, Mgr Jean Marie Benoît Balla is reported to have committed suicide in the Sanaga River around the Ebebda Bridge.
A search was launched for his body after the Bishop’s land cruiser jeep with registration plate number CE 9503V was found on the Ebebda bridge yesterday afternoon- about 90km from Yaounde.
A note was found in the car alongside his ID card, driving license and car documents.
According to Journalducameroun.com, the handwritten note on the letter head of the diocese simply read “Je suis dans l’eau”, which translated into English as “I am in the water”.
Naseri Paul Bea, Governor of the Centre region, the Divisional Officer of the locality and other administrative authorities rushed to the scene with security forces.
