AFCON 2021: Deadly Stampede Reported At Cameroon Stadium, 6 People Dead by MANNABBQGRILLS: 12:55am On Jan 25, 2022
Six people are reported to have been killed and dozens hurt in a crush outside a stadium hosting an Africa Cup of Nations match in Cameroon.

Video footage showed football fans struggling to get access to the Paul Biya stadium in a neighbourhood of the capital Yaounde.

Naseri Paul Biya, governor of Cameroon's central region, said there may be more casualties, AP News said.

Another report said a number of children had lost consciousness.

The stadium has a capacity of 60,000 but because of Covid restrictions it was not meant to be more than 80% full.

Match officials were quoted as saying that some 50,000 people were trying to attend.

Nurse Olinga Prudence told AP that some of the injured were in a "desperate condition".

The Confederation of African Football, CAF said in a statement that it is "currently investigating the situation and trying to get more details on what transpired".

The last 16 match between Cameroon and Comoros took place despite the incident and ended with a 2-1 win for the hosts.

FamilyAdviser:

R.I.P to the death.

But at least the OP should have shown us pictures or the matches that those people died on while watching it. Because all I see every time on TV is empty stadium.


Please kindly edit that to RIP to the Dead sir,
Before all these Nairaland trolls and trouble makers wake up and begin to type their normal rubbish, chasing clout.

We wanna believe that was a typo.
God bless you as you do.

As for the latter part of your post,
We can only report what we see on BBC, CNN, International Guardian and all other international News media that reported the News.
We no dey Cameroun, na Port Harcourt we dey!
That's why you have the source/link to the news.
Have a nice day Sir.

Maybe some Nigerian fans would have been involved had we proceeded to the semi-final.We're unbosoming our heart of sympathy to all the friends and families of the deceased and the injured.
