 WEH OFFERS PRADO CAR TO FON

Rumour that Car Cost  40M Dismissed



The population of Weh have honoured the traditional leader of their land with a brand new vehicle. Sons and daughters of Weh in Cameroon and the Diaspora presented a Toyota Prado Car to His Royal Highness Fon Mbuh II.


The gift was offered to him, 3rd December 2022, during an Annual General Assembly of the Weh Youth Association in Douala, economic capital of Cameroon.

A message forwarded on social media from an unknown source claims that the car cost forty million Francs CFA. 

Cameroon Infotrend contacted Peter Mue Ngha, President General of Weh Cultural and Development Association WECUDA to confirm the purported cost.

"The social media quotings are all wrong. As a leader, I know where  such accountabilities are done and surely not on social media.  Therefore I would not talk about the cost on social media or press. Such information is very sensitive for the public especially in such times" the president General said.

While handing the him the gift, His Royal Highness Mbuh II was hailed for being at the service of the community. 

The gift to the Fon of Weh was a gesture by descendants of the Weh village to support him in his task of administering the people. He received the donation nine months after coronation (Crowned traditional ruler, March 9, 2022)
