Nigeria

committee of the Nigeria Football Federation on Tuesday, June 23, 2015

The
Lille goalkeeper is expected to explain his remark against the NFF’s
choice of Ahmadu Stadium, Kaduna, for Eagles Afcon qualifier against
Chad played on June 13,2015.
“You
will recall that you were queried by the Nigeria Football Federation
for your uncomplimentary remarks with regards to safety and security in
Kaduna State, host of the Nations Cup qualifying match between Nigeria
and Chad Republic,” Chris Green wrote
“You
received the query letter on June 13th, 2015 and refused to reply to
the query up till now, which is well over the 48 hours deadline given to
you to reply to the query. Consequently, the NFF has referred the
matter to the Disciplinary Committee for adjudication.
“You
are by this, invited to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of
Nigeria Football Federation sitting on Tuesday, 23rd June, 2015 at the
Federation’s Secretariat in Abuja. The committee sitting will commence
at 11am prompt.
In
a related development, midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, who was sent off
against Les Sao has been issued a letter of reprimand, ordered to
produce a written apology and fined the sum of $5,000.
“The
Board of the Nigeria Football Federation has viewed your behavior and
conduct during the Nigeria/Chad match as tantamount to gross
indiscipline and unprofessional, which undermined the discipline of the
team in its totality and a breach of ethics for players as well as the
Code of Conduct for players and officials,” a letter signed by Tunde
Aderibigbe on behalf of the General Secretary read.
“Consequently,
the NFF having reviewed the situation hereby impose a fine of $5,000
(Five Thousand American Dollars Only) on you as well as a written
apology.
“We
believe that subsequently you will be of good behavior and conduct, for
a repeat of this behavior shall earn you even stiffer punishment. We
hope that this action shall serve as a deterrent to others in our future
engagements.”
Nigeria will face Tanzania in their next Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in September.
