Batcham chiefdom in the West region of Cameroon has a new leader.
His majesty Djeutsa Sonkoué Adrien, just 13
years old, was inducted last weekend by the notables of the chiefdom.
This very young king replaced his father, his majesty Sonkoué Tatang,
who died more than eight years ago.
“The choice focused on him at the meeting after significant
consultations was made at the closing ceremony of the official funeral
of the late leader,” noted Le Jour newspaper of January 18, 2016.
The ceremony of his enthronement was experienced by the Senate
president and several other dignitaries of the Western Region.
Adrien who became the 14th monarch of Batcham dynasty is a class 3
student at an establishment in Douala.
Despite his young age, the fate of Batcham group now rests on his
shoulders. One of the princes of his kingdom said the Youth king will
get full authority when he reaches the age of maturity “and penetrate
la’akam he will fully come into possession of all his power.”
Once the king attains maturity he will be obliged to follow the
footsteps of his late father, his Majesty Francis Hervé Sonkoué Tatang.
