Former Super
Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has threatened litigation over huge amount of money allegedly
owed him and his former Assistant Loscuito by the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF). Oliseh who dumped the national coaching job shortly after CHAN 2016,
took to his twitter account @SundayOOliseh to condemn the Glass House over
their refusal to respond to series of letters written to them by his assistant
over the unpaid debt hinting that possible suspension of Nigeria by CAS cannot
be ruled out. Oliseh who could be said to be fighting his course pari pasu with
that of his assistant said"
"For 5
months, Loscuito lawyers letters to D Nff have been ignored, Should CAS suspend
Nigeria it is not his fault Before they lie to you again"
The former
Super Eagles captain then followed up with possible hint of litigation when he
added
"Hope
NFF will pay coach Luscuito and I the huge amount they owe us without
litigation whilst alive pray they listen"
However in a
swift reaction NFF who have had to make do with caretaker coaches to prosecute
the Afcon qualifiers that ended in fiasco following Oliseh sudden resignation,
told whoever cares to listen that they do not owe the former coach a dine.
The Glass
House equally took the social medium to state their own case via @thenff.
"NFF
can confirm it is not owing former super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh any money
whatsoever"
The case
between NFF and Sunday Oliseh have been described as inconclusive in some
quarters after the imbroglio forced House committee on sports to summon both
parties especially after Nigeria booked early exit in CHAN hosted by
Rwanda. The summon was however put in
the cooler after the Glass House complained that it will distract the national
team that was then preparing for double headed Afcon qualifier against
Egypt. Unfortunate Nigeria failed to
qualify but the case had remained in the cooler.
