Omnisport, Yaoundé: On Easter Sunday, 17-year-old Ntsama Brigitte Manuella, was traveling back home after an outing with friends. However, in the heavy traffic streets of the Cameroonian capital, she met with an accident. While there is no clear information about the accident out yet, there are some reports linking former UFC champion Francis Ngannou to the same. So far, there are a couple of theories making rounds.

Some reports suggest that Francis was riding a motorbike that eventually clashed with the vehicle that Ntsama was traveling on. Others suggest that Ntsama’s motorbike hit Ngannou’s. Some also report that Francis was not driving the motorbike but was a passenger on it. Although he hasn’t made any statement yet, sources closely following the story report that instead of running away from the scene, Francis took the girl to the Yaoundé General Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility. He also took the financial responsibility for any medical requirement that Ntsama would require. But just then, tragedy struck.

A medical source close to the case, per 237online stated, “The victim’s limbs had severe trauma requiring immediate surgery.” While the doctors were operating on her for the same, Ntsama passed away while under the needle. Reports only came out after Ntsama’s demise despite it being over a week since the incident took place.

While the reports are still fresh, there are quite a few conflicting accounts as to what led to the accident. The investigation is underway, and more details may come to light in the following days. However, local sources mention how the accident points to the lack of road safety in the neighborhoods, especially the densely populated areas like Omnisport and the availability of medical care, especially in case of emergencies like this.

Meanwhile, Francis Ngannou or the relatives of the victim have not mentioned anything about this fatal accident on any public platform. However, the case that has shaken up Cameroon, has fans of the MMA fighter concerned, and it was apparent through their reactions.

Fans are seeking clarity regarding Francis Ngannou and the accident

This news certainly comes as a curveball to his fans, who hardly hear about him being involved in anything like this. “Crazy,” said one fan on Reddit about the reports of Francis Ngannou’s accident. Some fans sympathized with ‘The Predator’ as just last year, his 15-month-old son also tragically passed away. “F—, this is horrible. Can’t not think about the passing of his kid not too long ago, too,” said one fan in that regard.

There is a lot of ambiguity surrounding the details, but reports point to the Francis being at the center of it all. Addressing the same issue, another fan added, “Is no one asking the obvious question here? Was this Francis’ fault?”

“If true, a lot of tragedy follows Francis around. Dude can’t catch a break.” In the end, most fans offered their condolences to both Ngannou and the victim, Ntsama Brigitte Manuella. “Devastated for everyone involved.”

17 is perhaps one of the most important times of any person’s life as they near the start of adulthood. However, one fan claimed that minors often become victims in certain situations, and while he said that, he also prayed for the untimely passing of the young girl who collided with Francis Ngannou’s bike. “How horrible, sounds unclear what happened, but unfortunately, sometimes kids do just run out into the road without looking. RIP Ntsama,” that fan added.
