Omgba Bissogo

Omgba Bissogo was an Ewondo tribal chief and warrior who, during the colonial period in Cameroon in 1895, led a rebellion against forces of the German Empire. Omgba Bissogo was head of the Ewondo Mvog Ottou sublineage.^[1] Bissogo and his forces won a battle against the Germans and won their initial skirmishes. However, the Germans responded with a strike on the Mvog Ottou. Bissogo was arrested thanks to one of his wives who reveal his hide to the Germans and imprisoned in the German station at Jaunde (present-day Yaoundé) and decapitated. Omgba Bissogo is the ancestor of many Cameroonian political personalities.^[2]
