Dr. Eddy Narcisse Minang, the distinguished Prosecutor General serving the Judicial Court of Appeal in Libreville, has been handed a three-month precautionary suspension from his official duties. This significant decision, formalized by decree n° 000007/MJGSCDH, was issued on June 9, 2026, by Augustin Emane, the Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals. The senior magistrate is reportedly under scrutiny for suspected involvement in an undisclosed influence network linked to high-profile scandal cases.
Reports indicate that Dr. Eddy Narcisse Minang underwent an extensive interrogation lasting several hours at the Presidential Palace before the conservative suspension, signed by the Justice Minister, was enacted. To ensure the uninterrupted functioning of public services, the interim leadership of the Prosecutor General’s office has been immediately entrusted to Thalie Aubone Nguema épouse Edjo, herself a magistrate of the highest rank.
Dr. Eddy Minang: temporarily removed from judicial service
This temporary removal from the judicial system stems from what are described as “heavy suspicions of interference and obstruction of public action.” At the core of these allegations are several sensitive financial matters, including a notable dispute involving the company Covec Gabon, estimated to be worth 4 billion CFA francs. However, the primary catalyst for the suspension appears to be the unfolding scandal within the Central Directorate of Financial Affairs (DCAF) of the Ministry of National Education.
This DCAF case, brought to public attention in early June 2026 by Dick Fabrice Boungou Mikolo, the Public Prosecutor at the Libreville Court of First Instance, involves allegations of widespread overbilling. The investigation has already led to the apprehension of approximately twenty civil servants, with the financial losses projected to be between 560 and 700 million CFA francs. The suspended Prosecutor General is now suspected of leveraging his influence to impede the ongoing investigation. It is believed that this unusual intervention may be linked to regional ties, as both Dr. Minang and the DCAF director reportedly hail from the Woleu-Ntem province. Further details on this developing story are anticipated.
