By decision n° 000007/MJGSCDH, issued on June 9, 2026, Dr. Eddy Narcisse Minang, the esteemed Prosecutor General attached to the Judicial Court of Appeal of Libreville, a magistrate of the highest rank, has been provisionally suspended from his official duties for a period of three months. This significant measure was enacted by Augustin Emane, the Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals, and formally communicated to Dr. Minang. The top legal official faces serious allegations of involvement in an clandestine influence network linked to high-profile, scandalous affairs.
Information suggests that Eddy Narcisse Minang underwent extensive questioning for several hours at the Presidency of the Republic prior to the formal suspension. To ensure the uninterrupted functioning of public service, the interim role has been promptly assigned to Thalie Aubone Nguema épouse Edjo, also a top-tier magistrate.
Dr. Eddy Minang: temporarily sidelined from the judiciary
This temporary removal from the judicial apparatus stems from grave suspicions of interference and obstruction of public action. At the heart of these accusations are several contentious financial files, notably a dispute involving the company Covec Gabon, valued at an estimated 4 billion CFA francs. However, the pivotal trigger for this action appears to be the ongoing investigation into the Central Directorate for Financial Affairs (DCAF) within the Ministry of National Education.
The DCAF case, brought to public attention in early June 2026 by Dick Fabrice Boungou Mikolo, the Republic’s Prosecutor at the Libreville Court of First Instance, uncovered extensive overbilling. This scandal led to the arrest of approximately twenty agents, with financial damages ranging between 560 and 700 million CFA francs. The suspended Prosecutor General is suspected of leveraging his considerable influence to impede the ongoing judicial inquiry. This unusual intervention is reportedly linked to geographical ties, as both Dr. Minang and the DCAF director hail from the Woleu-Ntem region. Further details on this evolving situation will undoubtedly emerge.
