CAMEROON: Police question Samuel Eto'o
- Posted on Thursday 16 June 2011 - 10:48Walter Wilson Nana, AfricaNews reporter in Buea, CameroonThe captain of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon Samuel Eto'o is being questioned by the Economic Department of the Judicial Police over the 2010 African Cup of Nations and World Cup spending. The Inter marksman is helping the outfit figure out how the government money for the team was disbursed in his capacity as the skipper.
Before the four-time African Best Player took his seat at the Yaounde-based investigative office, the President of Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT, Iya Muhammed and the Secretary General of the Federation, Tombi Sidiki a Roko had also been summoned by the Judicial Police some three weeks ago.
Reports gathered by this reporter say the Cameroon presidency is not happy with the manner in which money destined for the Indomitable Lions was spent.
After Cameroon’s dismal performance at the 2010 WC in South Africa, an initial commission from the office of Cameroon Prime Ministry forced some officials who were at the WC in South Africa to give back some of the money they were given for their sojourn at the WC in South Africa.
In the ongoing fight against corruption in Cameroon, there is certainly more developments to unfold in this frequent police interrogation of some top officials in the country.
