Friday September 17, 2021 marks another birthday for The SUN’s late Editor Elah Geoffrey. It should be noted that, death snatched him in Limbe after he was hit by a maddening commercial motorbike rider between 11pm and midnight, Thursday, May 17, 2018.
Elah was returning from a professional assignment in Douala that fateful night. He was crossing the road in front of the Limbe Regional Hospital at Mile I when Vitalise Epie Mbong, on board the bike hit him.
Elah was rushed to the Limbe Regional Hospital, but nurses on duty could not save his life as he had lost so much blood from a laceration behind his head.
The reckless bike rider, Vitalise Epie Mbong who is a trained welder escaped to Tombel after the act. It was not until the police detained his father that he showed up. Till now nothing has been established about the Police investigation.
