In a statement read on Gabon state television, General Brice Oligui Nguema, said, “He has freedom of movement and can travel abroad if he wishes”.

The medium gathered that Bongo suffered a serious stroke in October 2018 which left him physically impaired, with particular difficulty moving his right leg and arm.

“Given his state of health, the former President of the Republic Ali Bongo Ondimba has freedom of movement. He can travel abroad if he wishes to carry out his medical checks.”
