Five officers from the Intervention Brigade of the Police (BIP) in Cameroon have been denied bonuses for their security work during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025), according to union officials. The tournament was hosted by Morocco from June 15 to July 13, 2025.
The Syndicat National Autonome des Personnels de la Police (SNAPP) has publicly denounced the decision. The union stated that the five officers were part of a Cameroonian security delegation deployed to Morocco for the tournament but were excluded from the financial compensation granted to other personnel.
Union representatives argue that all officers who participated in the security mission should be treated equally. The case highlights ongoing internal disputes within Cameroonian security forces over the allocation of mission allowances and bonuses.
As of April 2026, there has been no official public response from the Cameroonian police hierarchy or government regarding the specific allegations made by the SNAPP union.
