Patrick Achi rumor and attempt on Asseu's life[edit]
During 2011, Asseu barely escaped an attempt on her life by a crowd of young people. According to a newspaper, a rumor suggested that she was having an affair with Patrick Achi, the local politician; this rumor led to a mob that was armed with clubs and other weapons to try to get to her with the apparent intention of lynching her. she was, however, promptly rescued by a gentleman.[3] Assou suffered psychological trauma from this event thereafter until her death.
Death[edit]
Asseu suffered poor health during the last few years of her life. Several days before she died, she suffered what was described by doctors as a mild stroke and had to be hospitalized. Doctors kept a deep secrecy about her condition despite the public's interest to find about it and several media attempts to obtain information relating to it. Released from the hospital a few days later and believed to be in recovery, she suffered a second stroke on November 17, 2016, which this time proved fatal, dying of it on December 7.[4]
