Marlène Emvoutou, who was an unsuccessful candidate in the recent elections of the Cameroonian football federation, appeared before the Ethics and Fairplay Commission of Fécafoot on Wednesday regarding a corruption case. However, she denied any association with the statements attributed to her on her Facebook account. Emvoutou, who is the president of the Southern regional football league, had previously accused several members of Fécafoot of corruption.
In response to the allegations, Emvoutou stated, “I don’t know this Facebook account. This is not mine. It wasn’t me who wrote this. I’m no longer in the campaign. I have nothing to do with these statements,” as reported by camfoot.com. Her claim of not recognizing the Facebook account raises skepticism and may pose a challenge in convincing the ethics commission.
Observers of Cameroonian football have raised questions about Emvoutou’s actions, suggesting that she might be playing a manipulative game. They wonder why she has not reported the alleged hacking of her Facebook account and inquire about her involvement in a video where she physically confronts the third vice-president of Fécafoot, demanding two million. The circumstances surrounding these incidents may add complexity to Emvoutou’s defense before the ethics commission.
