NIGERIAN CHIEF SLAMS PLAYERS
Tuesday 3rd February 2004
Nigerian Football Association chairman Ibrahim Galadima has accused
the trio of players sent home in disgrace as 'polluting' the rest of the
squad.
Chelsea's Celestine Babayaro, Portsmouth's Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Victor
Agali of Schalke were all thrown out of the Super Eagles' training camp
last week for 'indiscipline' while on African Cup of Nations duty.
The troika of stars are alleged to have sneaked three women back into
the team hotel – an allegation all three strenuously deny.
Security at the team's hotel in Monastir are said to have tipped off
team officials that the girls were in the hotel. The players' rooms were
empty when checked and the players were said to be found with the girls
partying on another floor at the five-star Kuriat Palace Hotel.
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has leapt to the defence of striker Yakubu,
but Nigerian FA chief Galadima was unrepentent in his condemnation of all
three.
He fumed: "It is the worst act of indiscipline. It is unpatriotic and
we cannot condone it.
"We, board members of the Nigerian Football Association, met and agreed
that we have to decamp them.
"We don't want them to pollute the other players. I'm in shock."
Yakubu's agent, Pini Zahavi, backed his man saying he is innocent.
"Yakubu came to me swearing to God that it was not him," said the agent.
