The city of Kribi is in shock following the grim discovery on February 22, 2026, of the lifeless bodies of a prison guard and his partner, a military woman. The victims have been identified as Ebua Johnson Nyang, a trainee chief warden, and Enama Jeanne Marie, a first-class sailor. The bodies were discovered at their home, located not far from Kribi Central Prison.
Initial findings of the investigation suggest a possible crime of passion. According to authorities, the couple had a tumultuous relationship, marked by fits of jealousy. Ebua Johnson Nyang allegedly suspected his partner of having an affair with another man, which reportedly triggered a violent argument. The investigation is favoring the theory that the prison guard fatally wounded his partner before taking his own life.
The Prefect of the Ocean Department immediately reacted by convening a security meeting this Monday, February 23, 2026. The bodies of the two victims were transferred to the morgue at Kribi Regional Hospital for autopsy and further investigation. A thorough investigation is underway to establish the exact timeline of events and determine the precise motivations for this double death.
Investigators are working to reconstruct the couple's final moments and shed light on the shadows that persist around this tragedy. Testimonies from relatives and neighbors are being collected to better understand the personalities of the victims and the nature of their relationship. The investigation will have to determine whether other factors may have contributed to this tragic outcome. The community of Kribi remains in mourning, faced with this tragedy that strikes a family and raises many questions.
