Samuel Eto’o facing paternity lawsuit over 19-year-old girl in Spain

Eto’o who has six children with four different women has been
accused of abandoning a child he had when he was 19.

Former African Footballer of the Year Samuel Eto’o sued by
former girlfriend Adileusa do Rosario Neves for allegedly
abandoning a child she had for him 19 years ago.
Eto’o who has an impeccable career during his time at Barcelona and
Chelsea has been taken to court for paternity lawsuit.

Adileusa reportedly claim that she dated Eto’o during his
formative years with Real Madrid where she got pregnant.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Eto’o was aware of the
pregnancy but declined his parental duties.

The report states while a 19-year-old Eto’o was on loan on loan
at Leganes from Real Madrid at the time, she did her best to raise
the daughter ever since and she tried to get him part of her
development and upbringing.

Adileusa through her lawyer Fernando Osuna have decided to hold
Eto’o accountable by taking the case to court.

The case will reportedly take place on Wednesday, April 24 with
Eto’o who is now with Qatari side Qatar SC expected to appear in
person.

According to the lawsuit, Adileusa who was born in Cape Verde
says she got pregnant in 1997 after meeting Eto’o at a
nightclub.

Adileusa’s lawyer stated that they are hoping to get a DNA
sample for a paternity test from Eto’o who already has six
different children from four women.

been summoned to the hearing and it will be open to the press and
public.

“It’s not yet clear if he will attend as he is abroad. He has
been asked to attend by a legal representative he had when he was
living in Majorca.

“The judge has allowed official communications to be sent to
that person because it would have been impossible otherwise for the
court to notify him.

“He has not so far agreed to a voluntary DNA test and I doubt at
this stage that he will.

“At the moment our case is based on things like photographs and
affidavits from witnesses but a refusal by Eto’o to agree to a
voluntary DNA test would go in our favour.

“This process is a long one and it’s going to go on after
April’s hearing, but the decision on a maintenance allowance is a
key part of this process and the judge’s decision cannot be
appealed.

“The paternity claim would continue after the hearing next
month.”

The alleged love child between Eto’o and Adileusa is named Erika
as the African football legend is yet to release his version of
events and how it will be handled.
