Former Cameroonian Health Minister Hubert Nkoulou passes away at 95More Mandrax tablets allegedly found in truck at Ariamsvlei

Hubert Nkoulou, Cameroonian former Minister of Health breathed his last on Thursday, February 22, in Yaoundé at the age of 95.

A pioneer in Cameroonian medical science, Nkoulou was revered for his contributions to healthcare and academia.

Born on October 18, 1929, in Olembé, Batchenga, Hubert Nkoulou’s journey was marked by remarkable achievements. After completing his primary education at the Catholic Mission in Bafia and secondary education at the Petit Séminaire in Akono and later at the Lycée Général Leclerc in Yaoundé, he pursued higher studies abroad.

He was appointed as Minister of Public Health from June 18, 1983, to February 4, 1984. His tenure saw significant advancements in the country’s healthcare infrastructure, including the construction and renovation of several hospitals across Cameroon.

Nkoulou’s legacy extends beyond his ministerial role as he played a pivotal role in establishing key healthcare facilities such as the General Hospital of Yaoundé, the Gynecological-Obstetric Hospital of Y
aoundé, and the General Hospital of Douala.

He was also instrumental in the development of pediatric services, orphanages, and leprosy treatment centers.

Throughout his career, Nkoulou’s dedication to healthcare and education earned him admiration and respect both nationally and internationally.

‘It is alleged that the suspect entered Namibia from South Africa with a truck. When it was searched, six transparent plastic bags of suspected Mandrax tablets were found,’ said Mbango.

The total value of the drugs now stands at N.dollars 1 94

At just 29 years old, Joe Mudukiza has been battling sickle cell anaemia for years. Despite his struggles, he has remained resilient, determined to find a solution to his debilitating condition.

However, his journey has taken a devastating turn as he now faces a heartbreaking decision.

‘The doctor tried to manage the pain; I declined painkillers because I don’t want to depend on them. We just wanted to manage the pain using hydration but couldn’t since all my veins and IV lines have collapsed,’ Mudukiza revealed, shedding light on the challenges he has encountered in his quest for relief.

Despite his efforts, Mudukiza had been unable to raise the KSh 750,000 needed for treatment. Multiple online appeals have yielded little success, leaving him with few options. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when the Belgium Euthanasia Board offered him KSh 3 million to undergo mercy killing.

According to Belgian laws, the board cannot transfer the money to Mudukiza for treatment. Faced with limited resources and moun
ting medical expenses, Mudukiza made the difficult decision to seek euthanasia assistance in Belgium, where it is legal.

Latest reports have it that Mudukiza is set to undergo the treatment that he could not afford earlier. With the support of some organizations, he is hopeful that he will finally receive the care he desperately needs.

Olympics qualifiers: Indomitable Lionesses eliminated by Nigeria


The Cameroon women’s national football team has been eliminated by Nigeria in the third round of the Paris Olympic qualifiers.

The Lionesses suffered a 0-1 defeat in Abuja in the second leg outing following a 0-0 tie in Douala on February 23.

The crucial encounter at the Moshood Abiola Stadium was settled by Esther Okoronkwo in the 14th minute, through a Jennifer Echegeni assist.

Nigeria clung to the lead until the end of the game that had the visitors finishing with 10 players after Enganemben Annie was shown a red card in the 91st minute.

Aboudi Onguene and teammates struggled in vain to overturn the lead in efforts that lacked Ajara’s complementing tenacity. The forward was declared unavailable for the doubleheader against the Super Falcons due to an injury, and was replaced by Flora Kameni.

Nigeria’s star player Asisat Oshoala only got in in the 60th minute. The former Barcelona striker did not impact much in the game.

Nigeria advance to the fourth and final round of the qualifiers, where they will
play either Tanzania or South Africa in April.
