Former FC Barcelona forward and captain of Qatari club side Qatar SC Samuel Eto’o has made available the sum of five hundred thousand (500,000) Francs CFA to ex-skipper of the indomitable lions of Cameroon Norbert Owona who lost everything he had in life.

            Reports say Owona lost his family in an accident, felt sick and is currently homeless. He appealed to the government of Cameroon for assistance but his request was not granted.

            This led to the intervention of the former Barcelona legend who stepped in to assist the poverty-stricken former captain by providing him with some money. The UEFA Champions league winner also promised to provide him a brand new house.

            Owona played several years for the Cameroon national team and represented the indomitable lions in tow Africa cup of Nations, AFCON.
