They were taken to the
police GMI headquarters and latter to the Territorial Surveillance ST, office
(another police unit) where they are being detained.
Militants of the CPP
who were under a Prefetorial ban from
taking part in the 20th May March past, were holding a meeting to
discuss the ‘inclusion for a leading Cameroon’ when security forces swooped on them.
All their phones and other discussion material were seized by the policemen who
did not give any reasons for the arrest.
A statement from the CPP
secretariat dated May 20 2016 said, Kah Walla was detained when she visited the
GMI office to demand explanations why her militants and those of the civil
society organization, Standup4Cameroon were arrested.

A security source in
Yaounde hinted that their arrest follows fears from authorities that they could
defy the prefetorial order and join the 20 May manifestations.
The source was silent when asked whether their arrest was
linked to the ‘Black Friday Movement’.
Kah Walla and her
militants who are denouncing the violation of the rights of Cameroonians to
public gathering were victims of similar arrests on March 29 and April 8 2016.
