Belgian-Based Winger With A Fake Passport Absconded From Nigeria Camp Ahead Of Crucial Game
Published: April 01, 2018
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that a Belgian-based Super Eagles winger called up for the recent pre-World Cup friendlies in Europe would have joined a select group of players to have played in the U17 and U20 World Cups if he had not absconded from camp.
Having trained with the squad, coach Manu Garba had considered the winger, who is currently on the books of KAA Gent, for Nigeria U17s squad class of 2013, only for the player to abscond from camp before a crucial qualifier.
All of a sudden, the left winger ran away from camp before the Golden Eaglets faced Republic of the Niger in September 2012, as he didn't want the Nigerien authorities to expose him that he was playing with a false passport.
The player, whose first name is the same as a prophet in the old testament, had played in Niger with another identity and age different from what he has in his current passport.
The Kaduna based player is one hundred percent confirmed to have committed this fraud along with his childhood pal.
His accomplice also played in Niger before moving to Norwegian outfit Lillestrom in 2014 with a new identity.
The central midfielder joined Swedish giants Malmo in August 2017.
