Elvis Brown Luma Mukuna is a human rights defender who works as a legal representative for the organisation Organic Farming for Gorillas (OFFGO) and for its founder, human rights defender Jan Cappelle. OFFGO was founded in the northwest region in 2015 to work on issues of land and environmental rights, farming, as well as for the protection of the Cross River gorilla, a critically endangered species that lives in the forests between Cameroon and Nigeria. OFFGO has monitored the status of land holdings and land grabs in the Northwest, including the alleged land encroachment on small scale farmers’ lands by Baba Danpullo, who operates tea plantations and cattle ranches in Northwest Cameroon. On 26 May 2019, human rights defender Elvis Brown Luma Mukuna received a death threat via a call from an unknown number. This is the latest in a series of threats and intimidation attempts that Elvis Brown Luma Mukuna has faced since late 2015 about his human rights work in Bamenda, in the Northwest region of Cameroon. The most recent threats are allegedly linked to his work around a report published by the Cameroon National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms (NCHRF), confirming human rights violations perpetrated by the businessman Baba Danpullo.

Mukuna had previously been threatened to death in 2018.
