Supporters of the Comoros national soccer team celebrate their team goal during the match Cameroon vs Comoros in Moroni on Jan 24, 2022.Eight people were killed and dozens more injured in a crush outside a Cameroonian football stadium ahead of an Africa Cup of Nations match, officials said Tuesday.
“Eight deaths were recorded, two women in their 30s, four men in their 30s, one child, one body taken away by the family,” said a preliminary health ministry report obtained by AFP. The health ministry reported earlier that around 50 were hurt, including two people with multiple injuries and two more with serious head wounds.
“I was crushed up against a woman who said she couldn’t breathe. Eventually the gate gave in and I was able to get through, but it was complete chaos.”President Biya has “ordered the opening of an investigation so that all light is shed on this tragic incident,” the communications minister said. Cameroon’s health minister Manaouda Malachie tweeted images showing him visiting a hospital treating those injured in the incident.CAF was due to hold a “crisis meeting” with the organising committee on Tuesday, dedicated exclusively to security issues in the stadiums, a source close to African football’s governing body told AFP.
In April 2001, 43 people died in a stampede at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park stadium during a game between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
