Significance
Eko Eko has been imprisoned since February on suspicion of being one of the masterminds of the January 2023 assassination of radio journalist Martinez Zogo, an affair that has implicated numerous prominent personalities.
Impacts
Ngoh Ngoh’s position will be further boosted by Biya’s nomination of a new investigating judge in the Zogo case.
Regime rifts over the Zogo case may prevent its effective resolution in the short term.
Infighting will make it difficult for the opposition to challenge Biya’s rule or succession effectively.
