Albert Ebossé Case: New Revelations Point to Assault, JSK President Responds
The tragic death of Albert Ebossé, the Cameroonian striker for JS Kabylie, has resurfaced amid growing controversy. Initially believed to have died after being struck on the head by a slate thrown by fans following a league match in August, a counter-autopsy conducted in Cameroon presents a starkly different narrative.
According to Cameroonian medical examiners, Ebossé suffered five fractures and died as a result of a brutal assault, not a projectile from the stands. The counter-autopsy report claims:
“He returned alive to the changing rooms in Tizi-Ouzou. He was immobilized, his left arm forced backward, dislocating his shoulder. During the struggle, he received a blow to the skull, causing instability of the skull base and the presence of cerebrospinal fluid,” stated the doctor involved.
These findings support the claims of Ebossé’s lawyer, who now insists that the player was murdered.
JS Kabylie President Breaks His Silence
The new version of events has sparked public outrage and prompted Mohand Chérif Hannachi, president of JS Kabylie, to respond—particularly to criticisms from Ebossé’s father, who accused the club of abandoning the family after the tragedy.
Hannachi refuted the accusations, stating:
“We sent members of the Federation and the Olympic Committee. JSK representatives and the Algerian ambassador were present at the funeral.”
He also revealed that €15,000 was provided to cover burial expenses, asserting that “JSK did its duty.”
In regard to financial entitlements, Hannachi added:
“The money owed to Ebossé is available. His father must appoint a person to collect it. We need clarity about who is entitled to receive it—his parents, siblings, or his small family.”
A Case Far from Closed
The revelations have reignited calls for an independent investigation. With conflicting autopsy reports, legal implications, and emotional appeals from the family, the Ebossé case is far from over. Justice and clarity remain elusive—but increasingly demanded.
