Hélène Nathalie Koah, an air Hostess, expressed disappointment in Eto’o claiming that he has "betrayed her personality, humiliated, blackmailed, and has made false statements" against her
The top striker on the other hand, has also accused the young woman of trying all means to "dent his image."
"Investigations are ongoing to trash out these accusations. The claims brought forward are sufficiently advanced," one of the counsels for the complainant, Me Jean Moïse Abah Fouda said during a press conference.
Eto'o and Hélène Koah, air hostess at the Cameroon national airline Camair-Co, maintained a romantic relationship of several years and "separated (recently) ," explained Me Abah Fouda.
Eto'o had filed a complaint against his ex-girlfriend, recalls the Cameroonian press. "What I offered to one who attempts to soil my name today largely exceeds the 200 million CFA FRANCS (300,000 euros) that I reclaim today," Samuel Eto’o posted on his Facebook page in June.
"We agreed, to open a Samuel Eto'o Foundation with a shop which would sell my original products to fans at moderate prices,” he explained.
"I frequently send her large sums for this project, but when I noticed that nothing of what was planned was being done, I asked her to account for it so she started to call for a breakup," he stated.
On the contrary, Miss Koah’s lawyer on Wednesday disputed this version of the story from the footballer, stressing that she has never been involved in this project.
Following the complaint from Eto'o, Miss Koah had been arrested and then released after spending several days in the police custody, according to the Cameroonian press. She then filed a complaint against Eto'o when her naked photos were published on the social networks.
"Cybercrime specialists are working in order to exactly determine the origin of these pictures" and the person responsible for putting them online, assured Me Ndam Mama, who defends Miss Koah.
"Our client insisted, it was only Samuel Eto'o who had the pictures," she added.
