Cameroonian fighter Francis Ngannou is at the center of controversy after being linked to a tragic traffic accident in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, which resulted in the death of a 17-year-old girl, identified as Ntsama Brigitte Manuella. According to local media such as The Cameroon Concord and Cameroon Online, the incident is said to have taken place over the Easter weekend, although reports only began to circulate recently, initially driven by the citizen advocacy group N'Zui Manto.

Others, however, claim that Ngannou himself was riding a motorcycle at the time of the crash. After the accident, the MMA fighter reportedly accompanied the girl to hospital, where she underwent surgery for injuries to her leg and arm. However, the young woman never regained consciousness and died during the operation. This has raised questions in the local press as to whether her death was due to the seriousness of the accident or possible medical negligence.
