A scandalous affair is shaking the world of Cameroonian fashion. El-Dabo, the famous designer of the Indomitable Lions and personalities, finds himself at the center of a whirlwind of accusations mixing occult practices, exploitation and intimidation. This incredible story highlights the gray areas of a glamorous industry, revealing the ethical challenges faced by employees in the sector.
Recruitment that turns into a nightmare
It all started a few months ago, when El-Dabo recruited a new sales director via an employment agency. An attractive salary of 300,000 FCFA is promised. But quickly, the dream turns into a nightmare. After more than two months of work, not a single cent.
Occult practices for luxury clients?
The affair took an even darker turn when the designer suggested to his commercial director that he participate in “occult practices” to retain the loyalty of upscale customers. Samuel Eto’o, Chantal Biya, politicians, athletes… the list of prestigious clients is long.
« He asked me to ‘respect his protocol of occult practices’“, reveals the ex-employee. “I flatly refused. My Christian faith is more important than any job. »
This refusal marks the start of a real ordeal. Accusations of misappropriation of fabrics, harassment… the atmosphere becomes unbreathable.
Fear in my stomach: threats and a police summons
Believing his nightmare to be over after leaving his position, the former sales director receives a summons from the police. “ I’m afraid for my life“, he confides. “I feel like I’m being followed everywhere. »
This case raises many questions about practices in the fashion industry in Cameroon.
This kind of story is unfortunately more common than you might think. The fashion industry, with its glamor and glitz, attracts many young people. But behind the dream sometimes hides a much darker reality.
The mixture between occult practices and business is not new. It is symptomatic of a society in transition, where traditions and modernity sometimes collide violently.
This El-Dabo affair, which mixes glamor and the occult, exploitation and fear, has probably not finished making headlines. It sheds harsh light behind the scenes of a world that makes you dream, but which sometimes hides much less rosy realities.
