Emem Eduok
The
Nigeria Football Federation has ordered Dolphin of Port Harcourt
striker Emem Eduok out
of the camp of Super Eagles’ B, preparing for two
international friendly matches in the United
Arab Emirates.
The quit directive was given on Tuesday by the Federation boss Mr. Amaju Pinnick.
He said at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja,
“We are not happy with the cloud of controversy ove
r his transfer issue
and it is a terrible distraction to the team and Nigeria football
generally.
“Telling him to leave the camp does not mean we are indicting him.
“We will carry out an investigation and
whoever is found guilty, be he/she an agent or player manager or an
official of his club, will be duly sanctioned.”
The NFF President has asked the Chairman
of Technical and Development Committee, Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu to
conduct an investigation into the matter and report back to the
Executive Committee at its meeting in Lagos on Thursday.
“We have to do this (send Edouk out of
camp) to serve as a deterrent to others. We are not blaming the player
for anything yet; investigation will unravel who is guilty.
“But the distraction and controversy the matter has generated is not good for the camp.”
The Super Eagles B are preparing to face
2015 Africa Cup of Nations-bound Cote d’Ivoire in a friendly match in
Abu Dhabi on Sunday and will then play Sudan in Dubai on January 17.
