Martial Jeffrey in the photo was recently caught in the nets of the elements of the national gendarmerie, more precisely by the unit of the general research brigade (DGR) of Port-Gentil. He is being prosecuted for intentional assault and battery, a charge that allegedly led to the machete violence that the city of Port-Gentil experienced on the evening of August 23.
“I had a fight with my friend Lélé, from whom I stole the knife; he cut off my fingers with the machete,” recognizes the accused.
According to several testimonies, everything started with a violent brawl. It was therefore following a fight that the irreparable happened. Resource persons maintain that the victim Lélé from the “Azaria” gang received nasty punches in the face from Martial Jeffrey, his comrade.
For the defendant, “I had borrowed the sum of 9,000 CFA francs from him. Since I didn’t have his money yet, that’s how he went to take my phone and requisitioned it. That’s normally what started the fight.”
Disguised as a “gangster” in the affront, Lélé, who is currently in a miserable state in the castle prison, deals a fatal blow by cutting off several fingers of the left arm of his friend involved in the fight with a machete.
“Since he made it clear that he wasn’t going to give me my phone back, I was the first to punch him. Then he took out a machete and hit me in the hand, pieces of my fingers fell off,” relate t-il.
A fight that would be, according to several sources, the beginning of the violence that the oil city went through on the evening of Friday, August 23. This fight would have taken place two days before, and at the end of it, Martial Jeffrey with his fingers would have gone to his mentor the alleged gang leader “la 46” to seek medical care. The latter would have given him a sum of money at the exit of the concert of “l’oiseau rare”. Unhappy with the health of his “good little one” attributable to the rival gang of “Azaria” the alert would have been given by the “46”, who would have sent his lieutenants to spread fear in the streets of Port-Gentil.
“My fingers were cut off, so I went to see my big guy from the neighborhood “la 46” who gave me 25,000 CFA francs to go to the hospital during the “l’oiseau rare” concert”, he continues.
If the health of the two alleged offenders is stable, they are peacefully awaiting their trial at the central prison of Port-Gentil.

Martial Jeffrey Arrested: The Machete Violence Unraveled
In a shocking turn of events, Martial Jeffrey, a suspect involved in the recent machete violence in Port-Gentil, has been arrested by the national gendarmerie’s general research brigade (DGR). Jeffrey is being prosecuted for intentional assault and battery, which allegedly led to the brutal violence that shook the city on the evening of August 23.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident began with a violent brawl between Jeffrey and his friend, Lélé, a member of the “Azaria” gang. The fight started over a borrowed sum of 9,000 CFA francs, which Jeffrey had yet to repay. The situation escalated when Lélé, seeking revenge, cut off several fingers of Jeffrey’s left arm with a machete.
In a candid confession, Jeffrey revealed that he had indeed borrowed the money from Lélé and failed to return it. This led to a heated argument, which ended with Lélé taking Jeffrey’s phone and sparking the fistfight. “I didn’t have his money yet, so he went to take my phone and requisitioned it. That’s normally what started the fight,” Jeffrey explained.
The violent brawl took a gruesome turn when Lélé, who is currently imprisoned in a miserable state, dealt a fatal blow with a machete. “Since he made it clear that he wasn’t going to give me my phone back, I was the first to punch him. Then he took out a machete and hit me in the hand, pieces of my fingers fell off,” Jeffrey recounted.
The fight, which occurred two days before the widespread violence in Port-Gentil, is believed to have triggered a chain reaction of events. Jeffrey, with his injured fingers, sought medical care from his mentor, the alleged gang leader “la 46.” The latter provided Jeffrey with 25,000 CFA francs to seek medical attention during a concert by “l’oiseau rare.”
Unhappy with the state of his protégé’s health, allegedly at the hands of the rival ”Azaria” gang, ”la 46″ allegedly ordered his lieutenants to spread fear and intimidation in the streets of Port-Gentil. This, in turn, led to the violent clashes that erupted on the evening of August 23.
Both Jeffrey and Lélé are currently awaiting trial at the central prison of Port-Gentil, with their health reportedly stable. As the investigation unfolds, the city of Port-Gentil breathes a sigh of relief, hoping that justice will be served and the perpetrators brought to book.
