According to Cameroon News Agency, Josue was caught on camera naked and holding a lubricant while demanding that his players sodomise him.
"The president of the Littoral Regional Football League (…) decides (…) to provisionally suspend from all football-related activities Mr. Chatue Nitcheu Josue, General President of Botafogo Football Club, for inappropriate behaviour symbolised by a character video pornographic," FECAFOOT said in a statement.
It is understood the suspension will remain in effect until FECAFOOT's Ethics Commission completes an extensive investigation into the matter.

It is further alleged that this is not the first time Josue has faced criminal allegations, with reports claiming he was previously arrested for assaulting a woman in 2021.
"It was January 7, 2021. Chatue Nitcheu Josue, out of nowhere and without any provocation, attacked me in broad daylight and in front of multiple witnesses, including gendarmes who arrived just as he finished his attack. He was caught on the spot. I had a dislocated shoulder and injuries to my hands and knees. I spent over a month with my arm immobilised," Rebecca Enonchong said on X.
