Coach Oliseh and GK Enyeama clash in Camp

There was drama inside the Super Eagles camp late on Tuesday,
when coach Sunday Oliseh ordered captain Vincent Enyeama
out of camp in Belgium but the France-based goalkeeper was
persuaded to remain with the team by the Nigeria Football
Federation officials.

Enyeama joined his national teammates in Belgium ahead of the
two friendly games against Congo and Cameroon on Thursday
and Sunday respectively but Oliseh was angry over the keeper’s
late arrival to camp.

The Lille keeper arrived camp after Monday’s deadline, having
been reportedly permitted to report late following Saturday’s
burial of his mother in AkwaIbom.

But an angry Oliseh ordered Enyeama, who has 101 caps for
Nigeria, out despite pleas from the keeper, who rose to
apologise for coming late and wanted to give his reasons.

Oliseh reportedly told Enyeama to shut up but the Eagles captain
didn’t comply, which made the coach call on security operatives
to get the keeper out of Hotel Verviers, the camp site of the
Eagles.

Oliseh then named CSKA Moscow forward, Ahmed Musa, the
Eagles captain for the friendly matches.

But officials of the NFF waded into the matter and persuaded
Enyeama to remain in camp.

“It’s true that there was a little misunderstanding in the camp of @NGSuperEagles, but the matter has been resolved. Enyeamaremains in camp,” the NFF said on Twitter.
