Samuel Eto'o Headbutts A Journalist: Could Face Lengthy Imprisonment
0 comments Posted by wedos at 6:23 AM
Samuel Eto'o could face a lengthy imprisonment if he is found guilty after he reportedly attacked a journalist in Cameroon last week.
Authorities have opened an investigation and a lot of people came forward stating that they will testify against the Barcelona striker. Other journalists who were present during the incident are outraged by Eto'o's actions and are calling for him to face strong punishment.
The journalist's name is Philippe Boney and he was left with two fractures and severe bruising on his face after being headbutted by Eto'o.
The problem started when journalists refused to ask questions in protest that Cameroon were holding a private training session ahead of the game against Cape Verde. Eto'o was unhappy at the silence and began to insult the journalists.
