Four judicial officials were appointed at the Ntoum court of first instance: a vice-president, two deputy public prosecutors and a chief registrar. The appointments were announced during the court’s judicial term opening on 30 October 2026, according to the Gabonese Press Agency.

The Ntoum court of first instance in Gabon’s Estuaire province appointed four judicial officials during its 2026-2027 judicial term opening on Friday 30 October. Ossimantho Sennah became vice-president, Nayobolo Nangoungou Serre Bruxe Novic and Assogho Zomo Charlemagne deputy public prosecutors, and Doukaga Juslin chief registrar, the Gabonese Press Agency (AGP) reports.

The court’s president, Julie Obame Ndong Ntsame, called on magistrates and judicial staff to bring justice closer to the population, stressing the institution’s geographical and human accessibility. Public prosecutor-general Roger Darnel Nguema Ondo called for greater rigour, discipline and professionalism, according to the AGP.

This local judicial term opening follows the national judicial year opening on 5 October, with Gabon’s Courts and Tribunals opening the 2026-2027 judicial year, followed by the Gabonese justice system’s call for performance and ethics on 6 October.
