A cocoa farmer identified as Holy Ghost Fire from Lysoka, Buea, is reportedly dead following allegations of suspected poisoning involving members of his family.
According to reports attributed to MMI News, the case allegedly involves the farmer’s niece and uncle, with a cocoa farm reportedly at the centre of the family dispute.
The niece is alleged to have told villagers that her uncle gave her a substance to put in the farmer’s drink, reportedly telling her that it would only weaken him. The farmer, however, reportedly became seriously ill and later died.
The circumstances surrounding the death remain unclear, and the allegations have not been independently established.
The matter is reportedly before the Muea Police, who are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the farmer’s death and establish what happened.
The uncle named in the allegations has reportedly appealed for the matter to be treated as a family issue.
Authorities’ findings will be important in determining the facts of the case and whether anyone will face legal action.
