Cameroonian football great Samuel Eto’o, now head of the country’s football federation (FECAFOOT), provoked global outrage after a video showed his emotional reunion with a former teammate serving as a security guard at an Ecobank seminar in Douala.
In a popular video, Eto’o reacts surprised when the guard—a once-promising player who shared the field with him during their young career—calls out his name, prompting a cordial handshake and enthusiastic talk.
