A source within the Super Eagles’s camp in Belgium who witnessed the incident has narrated the truth about the brawl between Vincent Enyeama and Sunday Oliseh on Tuesday.
Reports has it that the incident began when Oliseh got angry that Enyeama arrived camp late after his mother’s burial. However, this had nothing to do with it.
According to the source, Oliseh was aware Enyeama was bereaved and had no issue with him arriving in camp on Tuesday instead of Monday.
The clash actually started during a meeting with the players after their evening training session which Enyeama attended but did not participate in. Oliseh had mentioned Ahmed Musa as the team captain and Enyeama was said to have rudely interrupted the coach’s speech at this point raising his voice and insisting that he was the captain, not Musa.
Oliseh, who was very offended that the goalkeeper was undermining his authority as coach, could not take it anymore and ordered that Enyeama leave the venue of the meeting.
It was when Enyeama refused to leave, Oliseh asked for the goalkeeper to be forcibly removed from the Verviers Hotel camp by security men.
Five senior players in the team – Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Ahmed Musa, Elderson Echiejile and Emmanuel Emenike – all went to Oliseh’s room to plead on behalf of Enyeama. There were also telephone calls from the Nigerian Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, and even some Nigerian politicians to have the matter resolved.
There were also hints from the team’s camp that Oliseh was not happy that Enyeama arrived early enough to train with the team on Tuesday, only to spend the entire time chatting with team’s secretary, Dayo Enebi.
