During a media appearance, sports analyst Rémy Ngono revealed that goalkeeper André Onana could have died a few years earlier in a road accident.
The sports analyst made this statement following the announcement of the death of former Cameroonian player Landry N’guemo in an accident.
Initially, Rémy Ngono expressed his sadness over this news, which has shaken the Cameroonian football world. He then discussed the state of some roads in Cameroon, revealing the statistics of road accident deaths recorded in 2021 and 2022.
Finally, Rémy Ngono disclosed that before Landry N’guemo, André Onana had also been involved in an accident on these roads on March 22, 2022. He expressed:
“My heart bleeds. Landry N’guemo falls into what we call in Cameroon ‘The triangle of death,’ which refers to the three roads connecting the three major cities of Cameroon.
André Onana, on March 22, 2022, could have died on these roads because they lack dual carriageways. Today, Cameroon is a country that, it must be recalled, recorded 3,225 road accident deaths in 2021.
In 2022, despite the same roads, Cameroon had 3,000 deaths. That’s more than any war. At some point, we tell the authorities, make an effort to improve the roads.
But how can we have 21,000 accidents in Cameroon under the same conditions? It must be recalled that the death of Landry N’guemo is the news that saddened Cameroonians, especially after his father’s statement. He revealed his son’s last words before the accident.
“Last night at 10 p.m., he said to me, ‘Dad, I’m going to pick up the luggage because I’m traveling early in the morning.’ He was supposed to travel at 4 a.m. to return to France tonight at 8:45 p.m. […]
But since this morning, I had a feeling that something was wrong.
Around 11 a.m., I was sitting here and my phone rang. Someone told me it was from the morgue in Obala and that my son had had an accident.
I asked if he was in the hospital or at the morgue?
He confirmed to me that he was at the morgue. I understood that it was my son’s body that had been identified,” Thomas N’guemo thus confided.
