Former Indomitable Lions Coach, Jean Paul Akono
Akono?s health has deteriorated recently.
?For nearly four days, he does not eat and he speaks with difficulty. Today, he fell into a coma. We should really pray for him,? said a relative of Akono. He added that ?The President (of the Republic) gave instructions that Akono be evacuated without delay to a hospital in Europe. All papers for his evacuation are ready. He will leave Yaounde shortly.?
This is not the first time that Jean-Paul Akono is evacuated abroad. In June 2013, when he seemed fit, he was taken to a hospital in France with funding from Samuel Eto’o. It is believed that the 62-year-old came back to demand his salary arrears during his tenure at the helm of the Indomitable Lions that had not been paid.
