This comes in after the game that was scheduled for the Olembe Stadium on Sunday, pitting Senegal against Equatorial Guinea was pushed to the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium.

A committee was set up to immediately investigate what happened and find out who did not perform their responsibilities, after the Olembe Stampede; and from sportsglitz.net sources, a report has been handed by the Local organizing committee – to CAF, about the dreadful incident.

The news is received with mixed feelings as some African football
