Ok, French newspaper, Le Monde's online edition, wrote a very unflattering article last March 13, about the supposed reasons for which President Paul Biya went for a private visit to Europe.
According to the article, President Biya was in Europe for medical attention, and was said to be suffering from Prostate cancer. His wife, first lady, Mrs Chantal Biya, on her part, was said to be meeting her doctors for a check-up, after allegedly undergoing surgery in 2013 to treat cervical cancer. The article equally alleged that the presidential couple left Yaounde separately, and were in different countries for their medical conditions.
The article was corrected/update thrice.
The Minister of Communication, and Government spokesperson, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, has not taken this lying down. Speaking during a press conference today, March 16, 2015, he strongly condemned the publication. Minister Tchiroma qualified the article as misinformation, and an attempt to taint the reputation of the presidential couple.

They are human beings and can be sick like any other but why must their medical records if that's the case be made public? They have the right to privacy.
Double standards right? Love, where have you been? You've been sorely missed
hilarious article.biya and mrs both have cancer,vladimir putin has cancer too,no his girl friend gave birth to their love child in switzerland and he travelled there to see gf and baby?no,he got a bad flu lmao.these foreign media and their yeye articles sef..
Biya leaving the country in the middle of a war for a private visit? Please, that was a cover up. There must have been something more pressing to make the presidential couple to have to leave the country at this time. No thing can be more pressing than health demands. I thought same pretty much when Biya left that it was likely for health reasons. This is the age of information superhighway. Things like this will pop on a daily basis. How long will that clown called Tchiroma be able to constantly hold press conferences like this?

I'm sorry anonymous, and I hate to do this, but I have to take off your comment because of its incendiary nature. Please make your comments without resorting to insulting the head of state or who ever. thanks
