Africa’s football ruling body, Confederation of African Football (CAF), has disclosed it has received written statements from football stakeholders in Cameroon to investigate FECAFOOT President, Samuel Eto’o, for alleged improper conduct.
In a recently issued statement, CAF said it is investigating these requests based on and in accordance with its Statutes and Regulations.
The football body made it known that though the allegations are prima facie serious, Eto’o is innocent until an appropriate judicial body concludes otherwise.
CAF added that it would make no further announcement while the investigations are ongoing and would make public statements when the proceedings have ended.
Recall that amateur football clubs in Cameroon called for the resignation of Eto’o last month.
The clubs cited “grave irregularities” in the organization and have raised concerns over many issues, including changes to the president’s mandate, lack of publication of new statutes, and Eto’o’s involvement with a sports betting company.
The clubs questioned the legality of the decision of Eto’o to take on an ambassadorial role with the betting company, as it may violate the rules of FIFA and FECAFOOT.
