The Super Eagles captain was kicked out of the team’s camp in Belgium after falling out with coach Sunday Oliseh on Tuesday but the NFF has now stepped in to halt the decision. Enyeama arrived camp after Monday’s deadline, having been permitted to report late following Saturday’s burial of his mother in Akwa Ibom.
But tempers boiled over as he attempted to apologise to team mates for reporting late to camp when coach Oliseh ordered him to leave the hotel before calling on security officials to haul the goalkeeper out. However, the Nigeria Football Federation has now stepped in to rescue the situation after Goal reported it.
In a tweet, the NFF confirmed that there had been a "little misunderstanding" but that the goalkeeper is still with the team. A month ago, the goalkeeper asked to be withdrawn from the squad preparing in Abuja for the Super Eagles’ Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania, only for news to break later that evening that his mother had died.
