Mr. Bongo who said he was speaking from his residence where he was been detained appeared to have been separated from his wife and children.
TheNewDiplomat has earlier reported that the president’s son and close adviser Valentine Bongo has been arrested and is awaiting trial for treason.

Speaking in halting English, Mr Bongo who said he was sending the message to friends of Gabon all over the world urging urged everyone who saw the video, “to make noise.”
