A number of supporters have been hospitalised, with officials reporting at least eight fatalities following what observers described as a “stampede” prior to Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations clash with Comoros.
The hosts are looking to book their place in the quarter final with a win over minnows Comoros, who are the lowest ranked side to qualify through the group stages.
However, prior to kick off at The Paul Biya Stadium in Olembe, reports have surfaced suggesting fans were involved in a crush as they attempted to make their way into the stadium.
