On last Dec. 5, after the Brazil-South Korea match, I had a violent altercation with a person who was probably an Algerian supporter.

I would like to apologise for losing my temper and reacting in a way that does not match my personality. I apologise to the public for this unfortunate incident.

I pledge to continue to resist the relentless provocation and daily harassment of some Algerian supporters. Indeed, since the Cameroon-Algeria match on March 29 in Blida, I have been the target of insults and allegations of cheating without any evidence.

During this World Cup, Cameroonian fans have been harassed and pestered by Algerians on the same subject. I would like to mention that the scenario of Algeria’s defeat was cruel but perfectly in line with the rules and ethics of our sport.

All the appeals made by the Algerian Football Federation to the competent Jurisdictions have been rejected. I therefore call on the Algerian authorities and Federation to take their responsibilities to put an end to this unhealthy climate before a more serious tragedy occurs.

To Fennecs’ fans, I wish that they find peace and manage to overcome the disappointment of a painful defeat, now behind us.

The man, Algerian social media personality Said Mamouni, later published a video on YouTube saying he was the person who was attacked, and that he was at a Qatari police station to file a complaint against Eto’o.

“Samuel had a fight with me. He hit me, and the one accompanying him pushed me. I’m here to lodge a complaint and he also smashed my camera,” Mamouni said.

He said that Eto’o became violent after Mamouni asked him whether he had bribed Gambian referee Bakary Gassama in a controversial World Cup qualifier between Cameroon and Algeria in March.

Arrogant attitude

I supported that mending so apology rejected.

I knew Etoo was going to apologise because he is an icon in the footballing world. He should also thank his creator that the guy didn't die because that knee he gave that guy was deadly one, if not the case would have been he murdered someone in qatar due to anger.

YOU ARE WELCOME

Damnnn niggar

Samuel etoo be feeling himself

All these Africans player

HE IS VERY STUPID

HE MUST APOLOGIZES TO HIS WIFE AND GIRLFRIENDS KUKUNASE FIRST

This not an apology it's a well packaged Insult to Algerians .

He fall him hand for public. A whole Africa football legend, where the whole word gather to watch football him go there go dey fight kickboxing with common unknown YouTuber

Arrogant attitude

All you indomie social media kids think you can misbehave and get away with it.

It serves the Algerian reporter right, why would he ask him that question in order to provoke him.

Eto over reacted I just watch how he kicked that guy in hip TV news...too bad for his reputation

Imagine it was CR7

The question from the journalist was irritable and totally unnecessary

But then, self control is key, and his aggression is not justifiable because he is a world class professional.

Apologies accepted... No one is perfect.

If tehifnubu mistakenly wins (God forbid) Nigerians will run And become refugees in Cameroon.

God abeg give us peter Obi

Samuel ọgba-mgba eto'o

Mumu..that's how they behave.
You've done what you wanted to do now you are apologizing.About 4men were holding you yet you messed up.

He just reminds me of Aisha Buhari's useless apology to Nigerians.

He said that Eto’o became violent after Mamouni asked him whether he had bribed Gambian referee Bakary Gassama in a controversial World Cup qualifier between Cameroon and Algeria in March.
See Mu question. he deserved the mending from Eto abeg

Craze dey worry you Eto'o. After doing the damage. What if they guy's skull was affected or he died as you kneed him?

Accepted but be more careful because of next time.

No apologies needed. The Algerian dude got what he deserved.
Eto should replace the camera and the Algerian should pay Eto for character assasination

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Why you go dey ask stupid question if mo be better mending you dey ask for?

Yeah one just had to be a scapegoat, not getting angry might actually turn you to a bastard as they say in yorubaland

I know it's bad taste but I wouldn't have apologised, I'll rather pay a fine for assault (which he'll still pay)

Doesn't justify Eto'o's reaction as a public figure

.

He should not only apologize but also pay for physical, mental and emotional damages. I'm talking upwards of $5000.
