Just after his descent from the plane that transported him from Côte d’Ivoire to Cameroon, the famous fan of the Cameroonian national team was arrested by the police at Douala International Airport, questioned, and then released.
The return of Ngando Pickett, the famous fan of the Indomitable Lions in Cameroon, was not without incident. Arriving at Douala International Airport after returning from the 2023 Total Energy CAN in Côte d’Ivoire, where he had gone to support the Cameroonian team, he was arrested by the police.
“I was questioned and given a statement. I think it’s totally normal. There were some issues, some people believe that my behavior has brought dishonor to Cameroon, so I needed to explain myself. It’s totally normal,” he confirmed in a telephone interview with Equinoxe Radio and Television. The 72-year-old man did not hide the fact that his arrest was related to his plea for help during his stay in Côte d’Ivoire for the 2023 football CAN.
This information was also confirmed by the police to our colleagues. “He was aboard an Air Ivoire flight that arrived in Douala around 2:24 am. We immediately arrested him and his colleagues.”
Upon his arrival from the plane, Ngando Pickett was accompanied by six other members of his group.
Henry Mouyebé, also known as the mascot of the Indomitable Lions, had traveled to Côte d’Ivoire with several members of his group by car. After claiming that he was supported by Fecafoot, Ngando Pickett once again appealed for help in a new video after the elimination and departure of the Indomitable Lions.
The mascot of the Indomitable Lions gained the compassion of a kind-hearted soul. Patrice Evra, the former French international of Senegalese origin, was moved by the message of the longtime supporter of the Indomitable Lions and pledged to give him a sum of 10,000 euros, equivalent to 6,569,000 CFA francs, so that he could return to Cameroon.
On social media, Ngando Pickett’s pleas for help sparked various reactions.
