Cameroonian artiste Longue Longue has been arrested after he was taken at Sawa Hotel yesterday (02/04/19) in Douala.
According to some reporters, Longue Longue’s family members only arrived minutes later to pick up his car.
While we are yet to confirm the reason for his arrest, some eyewitnesses said the makossa star was taken for being vocal against the present Cameroon regime.
Also, Longue Longue had recently composed a song loosely translated in English saying “Papa you are tired, go and rest”.
He sang the same song on several Facebook live sessions.
In addition, On March 29, 2019, Longue Longue posted a VIDEO captioning it “A Bunch of old men” in which he named some government positions occupied by old people.
However, Longue Longue hit success in 2001 when he released his first album titled “Ayo Africa”.
The flagship eponymous song of the album was a phenomenal success in Cameroon and beyond the borders.
One which quickly gave him a nickname, the “liberator”.
In a nutshell, the “liberator” remains in custody and we are yet to get a reason for his arrest aside from any speculations by critics.
