The former director of Vision 4 Television was liberated Thursday June 25, 2020.
Many had expected that Ernest Obama would be sent to the Central Prison in Yaounde, Kondengui.
He was set free after spending seven (7) days in detention.
The promoter of Anecdote Media Group, Jean Pierre Amougou Belinga is said to have masterminded the release of Ernest Obama.
Amougou Belinga hours before the liberation of Obama had addressed a letter to the state prosecutor in charge of the affair.
In the letter he presented the wish for the case to be withdrawn and for the journalist to be set free.
The move from Amougou Belinga is seen by some media practitioners as a show of humanity from a father to a son.
Other sources that News Upfront can not Independently comfirm attributes the liberation of Obama to pressure on Amougou Belinga from the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon.
The former director after regaining his freedom immediately invited some close friends to his residence to celebrate.
With the liberation, many are questioning the next move of both the promoter of Anecdote Media Group and Ernest Obama.
Information gathered indicate that Ernest Obama has no plans of fighting back, but rather to preach peace with the one he calls father.
