In the Comoros, the death of a retired non-commissioned officer during an interrogation in a military barracks on the island of Anjouan aroused great emotions as the circumstances of his death remain mysterious.
He was arrested for “attempt to destabilize” and did not survive his hearing. Authorities are talking about concern and even about Covid-19 to explain his death. The version of relatives, who had to dig up the body to gain access, reported blood and head injuries.
Some authorities went to Anjouan where the situation is calm again after clashes between the police and the population who demanded justice.
The reasons for Major Akim’s death, Ba Pale said, differ. The president’s chief of staff, who is in charge of defense, is causing discomfort due to the pensioner’s high blood pressure.
During the interrogation, he acknowledged facts about attempts at destabilization and even quoted his accomplices. When he felt unwell, he was rushed to hospital but died on the way. Her family was informed and the decision was made to bury her in the village of her children’s mother. »He assured.
This version is in contrast to the relatives of the deceased who had to dig up the body to be sure that it really was the major. In addition, they mentioned blood traces present, a broken skull and the absence of a casing.
In addition to the uncertainty that still reigns over the conditions of death, the exhumation of a body is a strong and almost never-before-seen act in the Comoros where Islam prevails. His relatives were able to perform the usual religious rituals before they were properly buried.
To clarify the facts, the government spokesman says that a command investigation has been initiated.
