In a new revelation on the Chinedu Obasi confession about a bribe in which he refused to pay to be part of the 2014 Super Eagles World Cup squad, BBC journalist Juliet Mafua has revealed that an unnamed Nigeria striker was denied a spot in the squad for refusing to pay $10,000.
It will be recalled that Chinedu Obasi in an interview with Kelechi Bernard revealed his refusal to agree to pay a bribe was the reason he was omitted from Nigeria’s 2014 World Cup squad and now there is more twist in the story.
