The Yaoundé military tribunal decided on Thursday that both MTN and Orange mobile phone companies should produce within a month the listings of phone calls made by the former bodyguard to House Speaker, Cavaye Yegue Djibril during the period 3rd to the 15^th of June 2015.

Captain Bouba Simala is on trial for issues concocted by National Assembly Speaker. The charges ranged from plain fiction to the most absurd and they included violation of orders, threats, contempt for constituted authority and mere threats.

Seven prosecution witnesses have already been heard ever since the beginning of the trial. Cavaye Yeguie had earlier alleged that his bodyguard who is also a family relative attempted kidnapping him. The corrupt House Speaker also did trump charges such as robbery and terrorism. These charges were dropped after pressure from the then Defense Minister, Alain Mebo Ngo o.

The former bodyguard was arrested on June 2015 and has ever since been held at a military detention facility in Yaoundé. The trial was adjourned to October 13, 2016.
