The Enyimba winger is having a brilliant break through season with the People's Elephants after joining just a couple of years ago.

The former Nigeria international is, among other things, seeking compensation for the ‘damage’ done on his reputation by FIFA with their investigation on an alleged bribery case against him.

“Here, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (“FIFA”), the worldwide governing body of soccer, exercised governmental function when FIFA investigated and adjudicated a charge of bribery, a crime, against Samson Siasia (“Siasia”), a United States citizen, which function has traditionally been exclusively the domain of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice, (USDOJ) and the Judicial branch of government or the State government.

“After finding Siasia guilty, FIFA then imposed a fine of 50,000 Swiss Francs and lifetime ban from using his professional coaching license that was issued by the U.S. Soccer Federation. As a result, defendant is in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, (“Section 1983”) among others, for depriving plaintiff of his constitutional rights under color of state law,” a part of the case filed read.

L’Equipe had already reported in June that French authorities were investigating the Osimhen transfer, although sources at Napoli remained confident it was an issue with Lille’s accounting rather than their own.

In the end, it may well be that Napoli paid closer to €40m for Osimhen.

Lille have taken action that raised even bigger questions over the transfer that took Victor Osimhen to Napoli, which was perhaps worth half the supposed €81m fee.

The chances of Nigeria winning medals at the Tokyo Olympics has been dealt a big blow with the declaration of 10 of the country’s athletes as ineligible to compete.

A statement on Wednesday from the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), an independent body created by World Athletics that manages all integrity issues – both doping and non-doping – revealed that a total of 18 athletes have been declared ineligible.

Nigeria is the most affected country, not meeting the minimum testing requirements under Rule 15 for 10 athletes.

The business and economy hub of Etche.

Currently the town has been cut off from Port Harcourt, this bad spot has become a hotspot for all kinds of criminal activities.

Mountain of Fire Ministries Football Club of Lagos were attacked on Sunday, July 25, 2021 in Aba at the Stadium, during the Matchday 35 fixture of the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), by Felix Anyasi, the Chairman of Enyimba.

The Sunday’s encounter between the two teams which which was marred by assault on the away team, ended in a 2-1 win for the home team, courtesy of goals from Enyimba duo of Tosin Omoyele and Anthony Omaka with Oladayo Alabi scoring MFM’s clinical goal.

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Member who doubles as the Chairman of Enyimba International, Chief Anyasi and his Officials, assaulted and harassed MFM FC Football Director, Barrister Davidson Adejuwon and the team’s goalkeeper, Jerry Isaac.

“I was assaulted by Enyimba Officials yesterday, who pushed me in the chest in the presence of Chief Anyasi, who could not but joined his men to harass me in the presence of my welfare officer, while I was attempting to address my Players before the match,” Director of Football, MFM FC.

He continued: “The attack from Chief Anyasi against my person continued as he return to his seat. All these I faced at Enyimba, because I raised the issue of 30% fan capacity and ticket sales which was never communicated to other clubs, particularly MFMFC.

“The Match Officials were put under all sorts of pressure by Chief Anyasi and his body guards to favour Enyimba which they eventually did and I won’t blame them.

“Chief Anyasi personally held and harassed the 4th Match Official, along with his body guards from raising the four additional minutes as instructed by the CR.

“Chief Anyansi and his goons successfully took full two additional minutes after the regulated 90 minutes and forced the CR to abandone the game, and succumbed to his pressure before they allowed the 4th Official to raise the additional time, which was eventually changed to five minutes, plus the two minutes they took while the 4th official was being held to ransom.

“Anyasi violently forced the match that should ordinarily ended at 94 minutes to 98 minutes (with palpable fear on the face of the Referees) till they got their 2nd goal”

The League Management Company and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Disciplinary Committee must look into this act, that is capable of destroying the beautiful game of Football in Nigeria and act according to the rule book.
