Assassination of Chérubin Okende: A Politically Motivated Crime
In a country where political instability is commonplace, the assassination of Chérubin Okende, national deputy and honorary Minister of Transport, raises many questions as to his political motivations. While the Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing to organize the 9th Games of La Francophonie, this heinous act calls into question the stability of the country and the intentions of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi.
Orchestrated rumors to sow doubt
Before this assassination, unfounded rumors were already circulating about the trafficking and sale of organs in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These rumours, orchestrated by critics of the government, aimed to tarnish the image of the country and its leaders. However, these allegations were quickly debunked by the deputy health minister during a press conference. Faced with this failure, some may have deemed it necessary to take the final step to discredit the power in place.
Disturbing coincidences surrounding the assassination
The mystery surrounding the invitation of Chérubin Okende by the President of the Constitutional Court raises legitimate questions. A correspondence dated July 10, 2023 invites the deputy to a meeting relating to his property and assets. However, a few hours before this meeting, Chérubin Okende mysteriously disappears. His body was found lifeless, riddled with bullets, in his jeep on Heavyweight Avenue in Kingabwa. These circumstances raise questions about the real motivations behind this violent act.
A political crime or an isolated act?
It is crucial that the government take action to ensure the safety of its citizens. In addition, a thorough investigation by the judicial police is essential to shed light on this assassination and determine whether it is a political crime or an isolated act. This independent investigation will dispel lingering doubts and reveal the truth about this tragedy that continues to haunt the country.
Let’s be careful and objective
It is important to exercise caution and not jump to conclusions until the survey results are available. It is easy to indulge in speculation and blame the government or other political actors without conclusive evidence. Only a thorough and objective investigation will restore the truth and do justice to the memory of Chérubin Okende.
Conclusion
The assassination of Chérubin Okende raises many questions about the political motivations behind this heinous act. As the Democratic Republic of the Congo faces political and security challenges, it is essential to exercise caution and let the investigations take their course to establish the truth
