Ertswhile Super Eagles
gaffer Stephen Okechukwu Keshi is to drag the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to court for “wrongful dismissal and
defamation” that’s according to AfricanFootball.com who can
exclusively reveal that a Kaduna-based law firm has formally notified the NFF
to that effect.
“Keshi’s lawyers have written the NFF threatening to sue for wrongful dismissal
and defamation of character,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com
“But the truth of the matter is that he does not have a leg to stand on as far as this matter is concerned.
“It’s all laughable and he’s just chasing shadows.”

It was also understood that he was paid all outstanding Monetary allowances due
him before his sack.
Earlier when the news of the Azare born tactician’s sack broke media reports
indicated he was to take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS),
but the coach himself later refuted the claim.
Keshi was sacked on July 5 after the NFF announced that he was not working in line with the corporate objectives of the federation.
The NFF disciplinary committee investigated various allegations against the 53-year-old during which they gave him the right to defend himself before they recommended he be relieved of his post.
He has since been replaced by ex-Super Eagles Captain Sunday Oliseh.
