Depressed and almost losing it, the Kenyan promoter who was behind the failed Koffi Olomide concert says he lost more than Cfa 5,875,934, money he now wants to recover from the artist.

“I feel like I am losing my mind. I lost so much money to this man who is kicking women. I must get it back and I am traveling to the Democratic Republic of Congo to seek intervention from the government,” Jules told Pulse.

“I had paid for everything, everything from return tickets to hotel bookings and everything else that was necessary to make the show a success. I feel so lost now. My money is lost,” he said adding that he is so depressed that the other day he even hit somebody’s car as he was driving on the highway – as he was out of his mind.“I don’t owe Koffi’s fans any money as the ticketing company was responsible over that and it has since refunded fans,” he added.

Cameroonian singer, Achaley, is dead, citing some social media bloggers including Bareta Press.

Achaley, 30, reportedly suffered liver cancer and died Wednesday while receiving treatment in a state-run hospital in Limbe, Cameroon.

Cameroon Concord cannot independently verify the veracity of this story at the moment.

However, health care in Cameroon is substandard and fragile. Youths, especially the unemployed, hardly can afford for medical check-ups.

It is common to find ladies stay for at least two years without ever seeing a doctor for medical check-ups.

There is every need for the youths to hold the government accountable for the poor treatment of its citizens. Elite receive treatment in European hospitals, while the poor die in neglected home-based structures.
