Belgian-Based Super Eagles Star Playing Under A False Identity, Risks Deportation
Published: March 16, 2018
A Nigeria international based in Belgium, whose identity is being protected by allnigeriasoccer.com due to ongoing investigations by the authorities, is at the risk of deportation from Russia if he is included in Nigeria's 2018 World Cup roster.
The winger, who has been likened to a Ballon d'Or winner, is playing under a false identity and with a forged passport, thereby making his Belgian work permit invalid as it was obtained through deception.
The diminutive footballer played in Niger Republic for one year before running back to Nigeria, he misinformed his Nigerian Academy of his age and name after he left Niger.
It has come to light that the player contacted an infectious disease which was not disclosed to Flying Eagles officials until the start of the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup and this limited his appearances to just one game in the competition.
While in New Zealand, his blood level was very low and he was exposed to other players who were potentially in danger of contacting the disease.
The player is one of the 28 players called up for Nigeria's upcoming friendlies against Poland and Serbia.
