Assailants Murder Father and Husband in Ndzong-Santa
Friday September 21, 2007 is one of those days that the inhabitants of Ndzong-Santa will never forget. It was a dark evening but an evening that was to cast perpetual darkness in the family of Haddison Sukuro Mokom. The fifty-three year old business man met a tragic end in the hands of unknown assailants.
That fateful evening, the family had gone to bed as early as 8pm. The assailants attacked later that fateful night. They first got the boys in another apartment in the compound, tied them up, and got one of them to call on their father that one of the children was vomiting blood. According to the wife, Grace Mokom, Haddison innocently and fatherly rushed and opened the door of the apartment where the children had been sleeping. It is then that the assailants held him hostage.
The helpless man screamed for help, but the assailants over powered every one in the compound. The confrontation came to a head when Mr. Haddison Mokom shouted, “Thieves Madam! Hurry up! Get my gun!” That was the last thing he was ever going to say. The assailants shot him on the head.

In Mrs. Grace Mokom’s own words, “that is when the molestation started…. horrible scene… they did all that a devil can conceive, and left… left a family with a large gap.” A gap for the Mokom family, and for the Ndzong- Santa community.
Mr. Haddison Sukuro Mokom was laid to his final resting place on Saturday September 29, 2007 with loving tributes from his wife Grace, the children Ndifor Eric, Kevin Forkum, Sunclair Aseh, Fuennian Ahirri Ctrancisca, Maddy-Noelambe Sukom, and Jenny Della Mantoh. Other tributes were paid by close relatives, friends and colleagues, from Cameroon and abroad.
Haddison Sukuro Mokom worked with Kilo Brothers Enterprise, got into taxi business, and later worked with Mr. Jonas Puwo (Pa Guarantee). At the time of his untimely death, he was a full transporter. His business was in the transportation SOC goods to Chad, Gabon. |
