According to estadiodeportivo.com, representatives of Nosa Igiebor have hired a British law firm that specializes in immigration matters to handle the case involving the Nigeria international, who has not returned to Spain more than three weeks after the conclusion of the African Cup of Nations.

The law firm has been mandated to resolve the soap opera involving Nosa once and for all , so the player can return to Seville without delay.

''We live in a bizarre situation. Unfortunately it seems that the player has not submitted the necessary documentation on time at the consulate to get the visa. And the age listed on the visa is not the same as birth,'' Miguel Guillen Vallejo, president of Betis, stated.

Nosa has an appointment with the Spanish embassy next Monday in Lagos. Betis chiefs want him back in Spain immediately he's granted a visa.

He is likely to be fined on his return to Seville. But the percentage of wages has not yet been decided by the leadership of the La Liga club.
