The family of Vally Amisi, a Congolese sports entrepreneur found dead in the Gombe area in April 2026, has announced a press conference to present certain elements of the investigation into his assassination. The investigation was conducted over a period of five months. Joel M. Amisi, Vally's brother, expressed gratitude to Belgium, France, and South Africa for their cooperation in handling complaints against their nationals suspected of involvement in the case.
In a message published on social media platform X, Joel M. Amisi thanked the three countries for receiving the complaints and for the results of the investigation conducted by investigators mandated by the family. However, he expressed disappointment with the level of cooperation from Lebanon, describing it as "unsatisfactory" at this stage. The family claims to have evidence of payments made to certain TikTok content creators, allegedly to downplay the issue and divert public attention.
According to Joel M. Amisi, payments of up to $4,000 per month were made to some content creators on TikTok, with the alleged goal of stifling the case and diverting public attention. He assured that these claims would be supported by evidence. The family plans to present these findings, along with precise elements to support their statements, during the upcoming press conference.
The press conference, scheduled for next week, will allow the family to present the progress of their investigations and inform the Congolese and international public. The family stated that they will make certain elements public to take the Congolese people as witnesses and share the progress of their efforts for truth and justice.
Vally Amisi was found dead in the Gombe area on the night of April 9-10, 2026. His case saw a development in August with the arrest of Mukena Mwepu Bénie in Brazzaville, who was presented as the main suspect. The deceased's relatives reiterated their desire to shed light on the circumstances of his death and establish eventual responsibilities.
Joel M. Amisi stated that the truth will eventually be exposed. The family of Vally Amisi seeks to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure that those responsible for his death are held accountable. The upcoming press conference is expected to provide more insight into the investigation and the family's efforts to uncover the truth.
