Samuel Eto’o, the President of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), has taken legal action against the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The former Indomitable Lions attacker appeared in court on Wednesday after facing a variety of charges.
The continent’s football governing body has not yet issued a statement on the conclusion of the case, but Eto’o has chosen to seek remedy in court.
“I have mandated my lawyers to file a complaint against CAF and for responsibilities to be established,” Eto’o stated. “It was too easy to taint everything I had accomplished in football over the last few years. CAF launched a press release much too early. This is unacceptable behaviour.”
Eto’o’s move underscores his determination to protect his reputation and seek justice against what he considers premature and damaging actions by CAF.
