Journalist Claims KAA Gent Winger Moses Simon Forged Passport, Played In Niger For Three Years

Mohammed Suleiman of Liberty Radio 91.7 FM Kaduna claims KAA Gent winger Moses Simon falsified documents to get a fresh Nigerian passport before his transfer to Europe in 2014.

Suleiman has asserted that the Super Eagles star represented a club based in the Republic of Niger for three years and was certainly not eighteen years when he moved to AS Trencin in January 2014.

Simon's former Nigerian academy, Golden Boot Soccer Academy, was unaware of this fraud because the player falsified documents he presented to the club.

''I proved to the people backing Moses Simon that he is a Kaduna boy playing for Moderate Stars before he was bought by Aminchi Academy,'' Suleiman told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''I know a dirty secret about him, I can prove that he is above that age. Obviously, he was overage that's why he was dropped from U17s and promoted to U20s months later.

''He is not a bad player, he's very clever with the ball. Short, fast and skillful to the maximum but if he doesn't add a little bit of height which I doubt he will, then he will go missing soon.''

Suleiman added : ''Moses Simon is one of the ills of Manu Garba or should I tell the whole world he played in Niger for three years yet was claiming 18?".
