Cameroonian defender Joseph Jonathan Ngwem has reportedly been arrested at Sphinx International Airport in Cairo while attempting to leave Egypt.
The experienced defender is said to have been detained over a court ruling linked to an alleged unpaid cheque case, with reports indicating that he faces a three-year prison sentence in connection with the matter.
Ngwem was reportedly stopped by authorities at the airport after the court ruling triggered a legal restriction on his departure from the country.
The case is understood to be a financial and legal dispute rather than a football-related offence. The circumstances surrounding the alleged cheque, the court proceedings and the status of any appeal or settlement remain unclear.
