Following a leaked sex tape of himself on July 27th, 2019, which casted a huge discredit on his image, Cameroonian striker, Clinton Njie has written a letter of apology to the Cameroonians.
Though many have questioned why it has to be done a year later after the leakage, he has stated that, “The confinement that COVID-19 imposed gave me time to reflect and I came to the conclusion that I had to personally go to my country, as close as possible to mine, to present my sincere regrets.”
“A few months ago, images relating to my private life were posted on social networks.
I deeply regret this sad episode in my life that I neither wished for nor appreciated and which greatly affected me as well as my relatives and my family.
Since the occurrence of this unfortunate moment, I have been looking for the best way to express my apologies to all those who have been hurt or outraged.
The confinement that COVID-19 imposed gave me time to reflect and I came to the conclusion that I had to personally go to my country, as close as possible to mine, to present my sincere regrets.
Having been personally affected by the disease only increased my desire to work in a positive way.
The health crisis and international travel restrictions did not make this project possible before the new sports season started with my club Dynamo Moscow in Russia.
I would therefore like, by speaking today, to express to all the Cameroonian people, to the Government, in particular the Ministry of Sports, to the officials of the Cameroonian Football Federation, to the technical staff of the Indomitable Lions and to all my teammates. My apologies and my desolation for any inconvenience or indignation this may have aroused.
During my next stay in Cameroon, I force myself to go to each other to show the sincerity of my approach.
I have a special thought for my teammates who have always accompanied me in these painful moments and have never ceased to show me their precious support.
I know that I have not always been an irreproachable example and I am aware of the requirements and the responsibility imposed by the honor and the privilege of wearing and defending the colors of the country.
Despite everything, I would like to assure you that my commitment and my selflessness towards my dear and beautiful country have remained constant and powerful.
So I want to continue, if the opportunity is offered to me, to serve Cameroon, cradle of my ancestors, and to contribute to honor it through the Indomitable Lions. May God bless Cameroon! ”
