A young boy has died after being swept away by floodwaters in Yaoundé following heavy rainfall.

The victim, identified as Mbassi Akono Dayane, was reportedly playing football with friends in the Nkolondom area when their ball rolled into a flooded drainage channel. According to reports, he entered the water in an attempt to retrieve it but was carried away by the strong current before help could reach him.

His body was later recovered, leaving residents in shock and grief.

The tragedy has renewed concerns over flooding and drainage safety in parts of Yaoundé, especially in communities exposed to heavy runoff during the rainy season. Residents have called for improved drainage systems and stronger safety measures to prevent similar incidents.
