Accorded Traditional Burial With ‘Spikes’ To Hunt Killer?Top Administrative officials (Governors, SDOs & DOs) are rare to be found in Momo division. After the recent retirement of Sandji Robinson Tado, as SDO, the list has thus only been limited to Ughitoh Zachary, son from Njie but DO for Tiko and Ndi Thomas Njeck, a native of Batibo but DO for Alou in Lebialem. Last week, Ndi Thomas was buried at his Ewaie quarters in Batibo village amid en eerie over what actually caused his death.
The nearly 1000 mourners who stormed the Catholic Church Batibo and then his residence, Chronicle sampled, were unconvinced that Ndi Thomas was not ‘killed’. Chronicle learnt that this gives credence why there was preference for a traditional burial, though unclear why it took a dramatic twist.
Most mourners complained to Chronicle that the remains of Ndi Thomas, Divisional Officer for Alou was rather frightful: that part of his face was swollen. No one could unveil the facts of the post mortem report allegedly ordered by the Lebialem State Counsel. Mourners were merely told that investigations continue.
Ndi Thomas Njeck had served Alou sub division as its DO since February 8, 2011 until November 9, 2012 when he was reported dead. At his funeral, rumours made rounds that he unilaterally decided to champion the planting of pillars on a disputed vast virgin forest pitting a certain Aka Festus and Chief Fualem of Abang, Lower Ndungated.
The Alou DO in the process, had to trek for a surface ares of nearly 40km, even without gendarmes. Without getting to the site, he collapsed and died on the spot. He was thereafter ferried to Menji catholic hospital mortuary. It happened a few months after he was beaten in another land dispute within his Alou sub division.
Born in 1959 in Batibo, Ndi Thomas did not attain ENAM studies, yet rose within the ranks as Clerical Assistant, that worked at the prefecture in Wum and Ndop respectively; then as Assistant Do for Ndu and Menchum Valley before his promotion as DO for Alou. He leaves behind a wife and seven children.
