There were also claims two weightlifters from the African nation had gone missing earlier from the Games.
"We have officially informed our hierarchy back home - the Ministry of Sports and the president of the National Olympic Committee of Cameroon," Nso told Cameroon state broadcaster CRTV.
"We have also laid a formal complaint to the Australian police."
It is not the first time Cameroonian athletes have gone missing.
In 2012, seven athletes from Cameroon were reported missing from the London Olympic Games.
Before the start of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton warned athletes would be monitored to ensure they did not go on the run or outstay visas.
Fairfax Media contacted the Australian Federal Police, which referred questions to the Queensland Police Service.
