The Super Eagles’ Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has dropped Vincent Enyeama as captain of the team.
In Enyeama’s stead, Oliseh has named CSKA Moscow forward, Ahmed Musa, as the skipper of the team.
The Super Eagles camp in Belgium was torn into shreds following squabbles between Oliseh and Enyeama ahead of Thursday’s friendly against Congo.
The arrival of the Lille goalkeeper and captain of the Eagles in Belgium, which ordinarily should bring cheers to the camp, instead turned the camp into a war zone following allegations of anti-camp activities against the captain.
Enyeama arrived at the Nigeria camp on Tuesday, one day after Monday’s deadline, after attending his mother’s funeral over the weekend in his home town.
According to reports, Oliseh was unhappy about his captain’s late arrival and demoted him at a team meeting after dinner, naming CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa as the new captain.
In fact, Oliseh was said to have asked Enyeama to leave camp.
He allegedly called the security men at the camp site to throw him out.
It took the intervention of officials of the Nigeria Football Federation for Oliseh to allow Enyeama stay on in camp.
