Jean-Pierre Robins Ghoumo

Jean-Pierre Robins Ghoumo is a Cameroonian politician who served as the director general of external research of the General Directorate of External Research, the Cameroonian intelligence agency, from 20 December 2023 to 20 February 2024.

Biography Ghoumo was born in the Nkong-Ni subdivision of Menoua Department, West Region, Cameroon. He graduated from the Institute of International Relations of Cameroon specializing in diplomacy between 2000 and 2003. Eko Eko was sacked from his position and replaced by Ghoumo on 21 December 2023, although Cameroonian officials prevented Ghoumo from accessing documents and materials that Eko Eko had access to. Cameroonian authorities believed that Ghoumo was loyal to Eko Eko instead of Ngoh Ngoh, who is widely considered to be running Cameroonian affairs.

Ghoumo was fired as director general on 20 February 2023, a month after his appointment, due to perceived loyalties to Eko Eko and falling short of his expectations in carrying out investigations.
