Back in May, a group of Americans were arrested for trying to overthrow the government in Congo. As their trial moves forward, three of them are now facing the death penalty. Now, the Justice Minister of Congo, has been poisoned in what seems to be an assassination attempt.
Recently, a shocking attempt to poison the Justice Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Constant Mutamba, has come to light. This happened shortly after Mutamba launched a bold reform of the country’s judicial system, aimed at removing judges suspected of corruption.
According to reports from the local media, unknown individuals targeted Mutamba in what appears to be an assassination attempt. Tests confirmed the presence of poison in his body, and those close to him have assured the public that serious efforts are being made to ensure his recovery.
However, many details remain unclear. No information has been released about the minister’s current health or location, adding to the growing sense of mystery around the case.
Adding to the intrigue, officials have revealed that on the night of September 2, the minister’s office was broken into. Investigators found traces of white powder not only in his office but also in the hallway leading to it. Even more disturbing, the same powder was discovered inside the minister’s refrigerator, raising questions about how far the plot may have gone.
As the story unfolds, it raises serious concerns about the forces at play behind this attack and what it means for Congo’s future in the fight against corruption.
