Mobile telephone company MTN has denied reports that it neglected 18-year-old Fortune Ngassam hit by poles. Ngassam died at a Yaounde hospital after she got hit by two poles which some had said, belong to the company.

“Despite those efforts, Fortune has passed away. MTN Cameroon renews its condolences to the family and friends of the departed and remains by their side in this difficult moment”.
