Super Eagles defender Elderson Echiejile has challenged his former teammates alleging they were asked to pay for spots in the senior national team to mention names of people who demanded bribes from t
hem or remain silent.
Echiejile was part of the Eagles squad that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa but missed out on the 2014 World Cup in Brazil due to injury. “It’s very ridiculous with these allegations going round, and I wonder why the names of these people are not mentioned,” Echiejile told“They should call out those who asked for bribes. As for me, I played under the late Amodu Shuaibu and Stephen Keshi and there was no time they asked for money from me to be included in the team.”
