Were the Cameroon Girls enslaved in Kuwait sponsored by Mr. John Egyaman?

John Egyawan who operates one of the agencies in Buea that sponsors young Cameroonian girls for work in Kuwait. Last week, CRTV magazine program – Cameroon Calling, opened disturbing true story of some of the girls testifying to being tortured, enslaved and abused. 

The program then accused Egyawan and his organisation mainly, of trafficking the girls who end up abused and tortured in Kuwait and Lebanon.

Mr. Egyawan was then approached by The Cameroon Journal to get his side of the story on how he conducts this business. He was very specific that the case of the abused girls has nothing to do with his agency. He actually feels like his is a victim when he said he is being singled out because they cannot identify the other agencies.

“I am very visible. I have an office. We are a legal entity in Cameroon. The problem is that there are hundreds of agents in Cameroon but they cannot be identified, – they operate illegally. I am just the drop in the ocean of people from Cameroon doing this. I operate clearly, orderly and with transparency. Egyawan said. 


When Mr. John was asked to give prove that the girls he had sent to Kuwait were fine, he sai,

“Yes, I can, but I will do that to you personally. I would not like their names or numbers to be published except they give you that right. I will mix theirs with numbers of family members you can also call. And some that came back from Kuwait who still wish to go back there.”

Cameroon Journal confirmed that he gave a handful of phone numbers for both Kuwait and Cameroon to call for further investigations.
