Oliseh's legal team gives NFF 48 hrs ultimatum to retract the libelous statement

The Nigeria Football Federation NFF has been given 48 hours by the Legal Representatives of former Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh to retract the ‘libelous’ statements made regarding the payment of monies owed the coach and claims he insulted Nigerians.

Barrister Robert Emuekperuo, head of Oliseh’s Legal team told footballlive.ng they are prepared to serve the Federation a notice demanding the former employers retract defamatory statements to their client including insinuations the former Captain insulted Nigerians while available proved otherwise.

In a statement released on Monday, the NFF stated:
” Contrary to the terms of his contract, Coach Oliseh went on air several times to talk about the NFF’s finances and in a derogatory manner. He went on air to insult Nigerians in what is now known as his ‘YouTube rant’ wherein he made serious allegations against the Nigeria media, which he has failed to substantiate. In it, he also noted that he didn’t want the job of the Super Eagles Chief Coach but was prevailed upon to accept it.
” From the foregoing, it is clear that without claiming to be perfect and working under considerable financial difficulties, not only did the NFF support Mr. Sunday Oliseh in his capacity as Chief Coach of Super Eagles, it actually showed lots of restraint in the face of aggravated impulsive behaviour by the coach bordering in some cases on insubordination.”
