Former France international Franck Ribery on Thursday issued a public apology to French television pundit Patrick Guillou, who he reportedly insulted and assaulted following Bayern Munich’s away defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the weekend.
“I had a meeting with Patrick Guillou yesterday in Munich,” Ribery said in a video posted on Bayern’s website in German.
“We spoke for a long time about what happened after the game in Dortmund, it was wrong what I did and I was very emotional after the match.
“I apologised to Patrick and his family, I hope the matter is now over and it was important for me, and for him too, to have this conversation.”
According to reports, Ribery “made abusive remarks and then physically attacked” Guillou, a commentator for sports channel beIn, on the Bayern team bus after Saturday’s 3-2 loss at Bundesliga leaders Dortmund.
According to accounts, the 35-year-old Ribery hit Guillou three times in the face before pushing him in his chest.
German daily Bild claim Ribery was annoyed by Guillou’s critical comments about the veteran winger’s performance in the defeat, which left Bayern fifth in the league table seven points behind leaders Dortmund.
Ribery’s wife Wahiba had sent the winger a message on Instagram saying Guillou was “very tiring and useless”.

Dr. Femi Oyetunji, Group Managing Director/CEO, Continental Reinsurance, CRe Plc, in this interview with Financial Vanguard, spoke on issues affecting the insurance and reinsurance business in Africa. Excerpts: By Peter Egwuatu T HE insurance companies in Nigeria and Africa have not been performing well enough when compared to their counterparts in the global space, what is the reason? Capitalization has been the major problem in Africa that affects insurance and reinsurance companies and has contributed to why they cannot get big ticket transactions. The insurance companies need continuous recapitalization to meet demands from major sectors that are highly capitalized. Femi Oyetunji Insurance sector in Nigeria is faced with the same issues like most other countries. We need well and highly capitalised companies. Personally, this is the same sentiment I expressed in 2005 and 2006. It is time for insurance companies in Nigeria to consider merging with one another to bu...

Why Moghalu, Durotoye, Ezekwesili, Others Stand No Chance

File Photo In the United States of America the term “third party” stands for any other party besides the two traditional parties in that country. From almost inception in 1790, the USA has been ruled by either the Democratic Party or Republican Party. Very few Nigerians know that there are over a hundred other parties on whose platforms people run for elections in America. Yet the American society appears to have only two parties in each election year. There have been few occasions where people contesting on the platforms of third parties have won elections to legislative houses in America. But no one has ever contested as a “third party” presidential candidate in the USA and won. It is not that they do not try, they just do not win. Nigeria is fast becoming a similar two party state. Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) led the country for sixteen years. Nigerians got tired of their high handedness and booted them out of office in ...
