Eric Tataw Tano, a Cameroonian born US based Ambazonian activist has challenged his detractors to a legal battle over allegations that, he has been acquiring money and wealth from sources linked to the ongoing crisis in the Anglophone regions in Cameroon. In a recent statement circulated on social media, the CEO of DIMPPLES who recently regained freedom from a US Court few weeks ago says, he has rather been contributing financially to assist the humanitarian efforts of victims in the crisis.
Mr Tataw says, those against him are making empty allegations and gossiping in bars and quarters and challenges them to forward receipts of contributions to the FBI now that he’s officially under investigation. He discards all allegations on him as as fake. “Others claim he was bribed by the Cameroon government. This is also money laundering. This is also the time because any money given in cash can still be traced by the FBI through accessing sources of investments. Regarding our CEO’s witness tampering charge and PPP, our team will only allow Eric Tataw’s legal team to comment”. a part of the October 1st 2023 message from DIMMPLES Group reads.
Eric Tataw has been under strict surveillance from a court in Maryland against charges of laundering up to about 90 Million Frs CFA from the US Government during the Covid 19 era under the Paycheck Protection Program. He was however released in September 2023 while investigations continue. Eric has continued business from where he stopped in his multimillion car rental Company DIMMPLES.
When news of his arrest and detention first reached his homeland Cameroon, many especially Government officials had offered thanks to the American Government with hopes he will be indicted for his contributions in the ongoing imbroglio in the troubled regions. The embattled activist had earned himself a name “Garri Master” which represents his modus operandi, calling for armed fighters to cut off the hands of teachers and children who attempt to pursue education in “Ambazonia.
Till date, all efforts by the Cameroonian Government to implicate Tataw and others, and to extradict them to Cameroon have remained futile. So far, no one has challenged Tataw for haven received a dime relating to the ongoing Ambazonian war that has killed thousands of innocent persons. He still says, he remains an activist for Ambazonian.
