Soleil Nyassa, an advisor to the president of Canon Yaoundé, reports that Womé Nlend informed players that they should demand at least 500,000 CFA francs each, claiming that the Federation had already given 25 million CFA francs to the president of Canon’s Board of Directors for their participation in the Cameroon Cup. However, this information is disputed, with Canon’s management stating that the club owes no money to its players. Womé is accused of taking players hostage and organizing a friendly match without authorization. The club, having qualified for the Cameroon Cup final, is set to face Yong Sport Academy from Bamenda. Efforts to contact Pierre Womé Nlend for his perspective on the matter were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
