(Video) Gabon top coach’s s*x scandal
Last Friday the President of the Republic, Ali Bongo Ondimba, asked the judiciary to investigate the s*xual accusation of Gabon’s top football coach, identified as Patrick Assoumou Eyi.
The president also wants all sports federations in the country to be involved in order to eradicate what he described as “s*xual predators”.
The scandal was revealed on Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian.
According to Sports Minister Franck Nguema, “Patrick Assoumou Eyi, coach of the national under-17 team until 2017, is said to have abused hundreds of young boys over the years in his various football coaching roles”.
Nguema added that the alleged victims have not contacted the authorities due to a lack of trust in the Gabonese justice minister.
The case was revealed on Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian.
The scandal led to the suspension of the suspect from the Gabonese Football Federation.
