According to his family in Libreville, he is in police custody in deplorable conditions in a police station in the capital in Central African Republic without any reason being notified to the accused.
The father of the Gabonese businessman, Julien Agnagano, left his town of Port-Gentil to live in Libreville, where he goes almost daily to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to obtain information regarding his son’s case. “ Every day I go there. There is no follow-up… We are completely depressed, overwhelmed by this behavior. Every minute counts. My son’s life is in danger “, he emphasizes.
The Central African lawyer for the Gabonese businessman says he does not know the reasons for his client’s incarceration. His father maintains that Ismaël Sylvain Agnagano’s problems began when he won the call for tenders to secure the staff of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (Cemac): ” There were many candidates and it was his application that was selected. Its competitors, the economic operators of the Central African Republic, are not happy. This is where his arrest came from. »
Ismaël Sylvain Agnagano is the boss of two companies: one focuses on private security and the other does audits. His father begged Presidents Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma of Gabon and Faustin-Archange Touadéra of the Central African Republic to help his son: “ I ask General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma to intervene in his case. A message to the Central African authorities: Gabon is a brother country, don’t forget it! »
Established in Bangui for 7 years, Ismaël Agnagano employs a total of 121 Central Africans.
