Cameroonian footballer Landry Nguemo tragically passed away on Thursday at the age of 38 following a road accident near Yaoundé. Nguemo, who scored three goals in 42 appearances for the Indomitable Lions, retired from professional football in 2020.
The accident occurred a few kilometres from Yaoundé when Nguemo’s car, driven by his chauffeur, collided with a sand truck. Both Nguemo and his chauffeur died instantly at the scene.
Samuel Eto’o, president of the Cameroonian Football Federation and Nguemo’s former teammate, expressed his deep sorrow on social media, mourning the loss of his friend and colleague.
