The President of the Republic of Cameroon, Paul Biya, signed a decree on May 21, 2026, dismissing Police Commissioner Meh Kangha Michael from his duties. Michael held the position of head of the public road traffic control section at the regional unit of the Special Division for the Control of Services in the North.
The presidential decision is motivated by "serious misconduct," although the specific nature of this misconduct is not detailed in the decree. The first article of the decree stipulates that Meh Kangha Michael is relieved of his duties from the date of signing the order.
The decree specifies that the Minister of Finance and the Delegate General for National Security are responsible for the execution of this order, which will be registered, published following the emergency procedure, and then inserted in the Official Journal in both French and English. The Délégation Générale à la Sûreté Nationale (DGSN) is the body responsible for the internal and external security of the State in Cameroon. It also ensures compliance with the execution of laws and regulations.
The National Security in Cameroon has the fundamental mission of ensuring respect for and protection of institutions, public freedoms, persons, and property. It contributes to the exercise of administrative and judicial police, and participates in national defense. The dismissal of Meh Kangha Michael comes in a context where rigor and discipline are emphasized within the Cameroonian security forces.
