Cameroon’s Ambassador to France André Magnus Ekoumou has paid homage to the victims of the Olembe Stadium stampede and the deaths recorded in the fire incident at the LIVS Night Club in Bastos Yaoundé.
A moment of solemnity was observed by the entire personnel of Cameroon’s Embassy in Paris yesterday January 25, 2022.
A wreath was also laid by Cameroon’s Ambassador in memory of the victims of both incidents which occurred recently in Cameroon’s political capital, Yaoundé.
Figures from both incidents, according to Government sources, cumulate to at least 24 deaths.
