The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ebolowa, His Lordship Philippe Alain Mbarga, has survived a road accident alongside Rev Sister Monique Sophie Beyala and the prelate’s driver, whose name The Guardian Post got only as Belinga.

The trio were involved in an accident in the early hours of Saturday June 29.



The incident is said to have occurred in the locality of Ngalane, in the Mvila Division of the South Region. 

In a note issued same Saturday, the Vicar General of the Ebolowa Diocese, Monsignor George Bertrand Melobo, confirmed the happenstance, indicating that it occurred while the trio were heading for an ordination ceremony.

Monsignor Melobo assured parishioners that medical interventions indicate that the prelate and his driver are out of serious danger. 

He also quoted the Bishop of Ebolowa as having thanked all those who have since the incident been visiting him alongside other victims of the accident. 

The Chief Shepherd of the Ebolowa Diocese, the Vicar General, also indicated he is grateful for all the prayers that have been said for their speedy recovery.

Other reports hold that the Bishop and other victims of the accident are hospitalised at the Intensive Care Unit, ICU, of a facility in Ngalane.

Since news of the incident, there has been an outpouring of support and concern from Christians of the Ebolowa Diocese. Some have especially taken to the social media, praying for the speedy recovery of the victims of the accident.

Local authorities and medical personnel are reported to have acted swiftly to provide emergency assistance to the Man of God and others, shortly after the accident.

Bishop Philippe Alain Mbarga is known to be widely respected, not only for his leadership within the church but also for his unwavering commitment to community welfare and spiritual guidance. 

His presence in the Ebolowa Diocese, many say, has been instrumental in fostering unity and compassion among the faithful.
