However, it is noted that this is the first public decision of the Head of State since his return to the country after a long stay abroad.
Before being appointed in 2014 at the head of the 14th district police station in Yaoundé, Nyallanke Luc Sylvain was brigade chief in the special division for the control of services.
Sylvain has been Commissioner of the 14th Police District in Yaounde since his appointment in 2014, and he has also served as head of the Investigative bench at the Judicial Police in Yaounde.
His dismissal is contained in a press release made public on Wednesday 25 October 2017, signed by the president of the republic. The press release failed to make mention of why the president handed Commissioner Nyallanke Luc Sylvain the sack.
According to the release, the head of state in his decision stated that the Minister of Finance Alamine Ousmane Mey, and the Delegate General for National Security Martin Mbarga Nguélé, should make sure they fully apply the decision.
The firing of Commissioner Nyallanke Luc Sylvain is the first major action taken by President Paul Biya since his return to the country last week end, following his prolong stay in Europe after participating in the 72nd UN General Assembly in the US.
