Overview

• Speaking on Ariel Helwani’s show, Ngannou publicly recounted for the first time the April collision in Yaoundé that fatally injured 17-year-old Ntsama Brigitte Manuella.
• He said the pedestrian turned and froze as he rode near his mother’s home, and that he struck her with the left side of his motorcycle without falling.
• Ngannou described carrying her into a taxi, following to Yaoundé General Hospital, and staying for hours as staff initially reassured him after a diagnosed leg fracture.
• He said he urged doctors to check for internal bleeding and obtain brain imaging; she underwent surgery and never woke up, dying days later.
• Ngannou said he covered medical expenses, remains in contact with the family, and has struggled with sleepless nights since the crash.
