Former coach of the Indomitable Lions Rigobert Song has filed a law suit against two journalists Theophile Awana and Pinon Omgba, for saying he possesses a fake coaching certificate.

The remarks were made on a televised programme on Canal 2 International in February, and the coach reacted, promising to file a complaint against the individuals.

The media men have been summoned to appear before the court of first instance in Yaounde on Tuesday, March 19.

The communique signed by Song’s lawyer, barrister Bayebec, indicated that the claims by the journalists are ‘unfounded’.

It added that the statements were ‘not only to harm the image of Mr. Song Bahanag Rigobert, but also and especially his honorability’.

Rigobert Song parted ways with the Indomitable Lions as head coach after his contract ended on February 29.

The Cameroon government through the Minister of Sports, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi and the Cameroon Football Federation, said the coach’s contract could not be renewed due to insufficient results. His
exit came after the Lions crashed out of the AFCON 2023 in Cote d’Ivoire in the round of 16.

Two Ghanaian sprinters, Benjamin Azamati and Aggergh Barnabas, have qualified for the finals of the men’s 100m race.

Azamati finished second in the semi-final heat two with a time of 10.41s, while Barnabas was very impressive in his semi-final, having recorded a time of 10.42s.

Sarfo Ansah, who also qualified for the semi-finals, couldn’t make the finals after placing fifth with a time of 10.57s.

In the women’s 100m race, Ghana’s Mary Boakye also secured a place in the finals, while her counterparts Hor Halutie and Benedicta Kwartemaa couldn’t make the finals.

This result puts Ghana in contention to win their first medal in athletics, with high hopes for Azamati, who is the national record holder with a time of 9.90s.

The finals set for Tuesday, March 19, 2024, promises to be an enthralling race with the likes of Cameroon’s Emmanuel Alobwede and Nigeria’s Ekanem Consider, who impressively sailed through the finals.
