The difference is a wealth, ”said the columnist of Abk radio on August 12, 2021.

Asked about this affair on ABK radio, Hervé Emmanuel Nkom demands the entrepreneur’s release: “Speaking of the Charles and Rebecca Enonchong affair, they are both children of a famous lawyer and they know the business well law. Rebecca’s place is not in prison. But everyone has to obey the law, that’s what keeps us safe, ”said the politician.
