The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) announced the incident on its Facebook page.

The Yaounde-born midfielder played 42 times and scored three goals for Cameroon between 2006 and 2014, winning a runners-up medal at the 2008 African Cup of Nations.
He spent most of his club career in France, starting as a 16-year-old at the academy of AS Nancy-Lorraine.
