A video has surfaced online showing Samuel Eto'o Fils, President of the Cameroon Football Federation FECAFOOT venting anger on a man videotaping him as he posed for pictures with fans. 

Amateur video on Eto'o encounter with man taking video 

The incident that engulfed onlookers in shock is said to have occurred late on Monday evening at the 974 Stadium after Brazil’s 4-1 victory over South Korea in the round of 16 at the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Eto’o, a brand ambassador of the tournament is seen in the amateur video that had gone wild on social media, taking pictures with fans before venting his anger later on a man who was apparently taking a video of him at close range.

It is not clear what must have caused the fury of the four-time African footballer of the year but he is seen been held back by close aides as he attempts to go out on the videographer who was already on the floor.

The reason for such reaction by the Cameroon Football Administrator explained by legal experts suggest that the videographer had no permission. 

Maybelle Boma, Facebook blogger quotes renowned Qatari Lawyer and legal counsel Ahmed Abdullah Al-Subaey on illegal photoshoot. 

"It is a criminal offence to photograph an individual without prior permission or registration. 

Taking photographs or clips in a public place with the intention of offending or defaming is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment and a fine of not more than QR 10,000 or one of the penalties"

Legal staff Al-Subaey adds that "The prescribed penalty applies to anyone who took or transmits photographs or videos of an individual or individual in a public place through a device of any kind, with the intention of using them for abuse or defamation."


Al-Subaey said this is with regards to 

Article 333, which (amended according to Law no. 4 of 2017) aimed at protecting the sanctity of personal life.
