Speaking to Channels Sports, President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, confirmed that he had spoken with the coach and player.
Oliseh, who was physically angry over the late arrival of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to the team’s camp in Belgium, asked the player to shut up and be thrown out of camp by security operatives. “There was an open shouting match between the coach and Enyeama”, our source said on our hotline last night.
However, Oliseh still stood by his choice of the CSKA Moscow forward as the new captain of the Super Eagles.
But an angry Oliseh ordered Enyeama, who has 101 caps for Nigeria, out despite pleas from the keeper, who rose to apologise for coming late and wanted to give his reasons.
Enyeama arrived camp after Monday’s deadline, having been permitted to report late following Saturday’s burial of his mother in Akwa Ibom. Sources in the camp claim Enyeama was furious with the gaffer after he was told he would be dropped as Eagles captain with Ahmed Musa taking his place.

But the NFF would douse the tension as they waded into the matter. “There was a little misunderstanding but it has been re- solved and all is well in the camp of the Super Eagles in Belgium”.
