Age Scam Rocks Nigeria U23 Football Camp by Titilayodeji13(m): 4:14pm On Nov 30, 2014

Some players seeking to be part of the
Nigeria U23 male football team have been
accused of being age cheats and sent away
from the camp.
Currently, the team’s handlers are
undertaking a screening process to raise a
formidable team to compete at next year’s
All African Games and then the Rio 2016
Olympic Games.
Led by Coach Samson Siasia, the U23
technical crew has decamped as much as
10 players suspected to be above the age
required to be part of the Nigeria Dream
VI team.
Amongst the big names allegedly involved
in the ‘age deceit saga’ is Federation Cup
Most Valuable Player and Top Scorer,
Emem Eduok.
Eduok who went into the history books
after scoring the first goal at the newly
commissioned Akwa Ibom Stadium in
Uyo is mysteriously credited with two
different birth dates, both of which put
him in the desired age bracket.
Internet information via this website
stated that the Dolphins forward was born
on January 21, 1994, while another
website, revealed his international
passport reads August 31, 1994.
Timi Ebikagboro, the media officer for the
Nigeria U23 side, confirmed the dropping
of Eduok even as he added that the team’s
handlers will be on their toes not to allow
any age cheats in the new squad being
assembled.
“All selected players must come with their
international passports when reporting to
camp on the 4th of January,” he said. “Glo
Nigeria Premier League players (are) to
add license.”
The spokesperson also revealed that
Coach Siasia has declared that only
players born after January 1, 1993 will be
eligible to report to camp, which has
already witnessed over 1,000 interested
players.
The Dream Team VI camp will go on
break on December 20.
Nigeria has in the past been enmeshed in
age cheat scandals in age-group football
competitions.
